Wow, this is fascinating. I would listen to her because I was still
learning Spanish as my second language. Then I had the privelege of
reading the recipe book. Thank you for sharing this; it means a lot to
me as I really wanted to perfect my Spanish, and I guess she served as a
mentor to me for learning cooking tips as well.

Hi everyone,
For those looking for Elena Emilia Zelayeta books(see below my name).
Titles are listed on Amazon, but not sure of prices. She did a show,
from what I found out, in San Francisco.
She was born in 1898 in Mexico and died in 1974. If I remember right,
a brief biography of her was presented in a Dialogue magazine column
called The Way We Were by Peggy Chong sometime in the past few years.
Peggy Chong is known as The Blind History Lady and has a website
www.theblindhistorylady.com
Dialogue (as some may know) is not being published any more, but if,
interested, Blindskills, the publisher, may be able to send you the
article via email. Their number is (800) 860-4224 or (503) 581-4224.
