Chef Tania’s cooking demonstration is a favorite at the Latino Heritage Festival.  Chef Tania prepares recipes from a cookbook published specifically for the festival.  These cookbooks, with recipes from a dozen Latin American countries, were sold to festival attendees to fund raise for scholarships given to students at the festival. With workshops throughout the day, the wonderful smells and tastes draw capacity crowds to each session.
