Students learning about Spanish language and Latin culture can visit the site for HITN’s cooking show //Sazon y Algo Más,// which literally translates to “seasoning and something more.” Featuring Spanish-language recipes for traditional Mexican and Latin American dishes, the site refers to many recurring ingredients so students can learn about typical Latin flavors while reinforcing new vocabulary through repeated exposure. Some recipes feature more international fare, such as crêpes, sushi, and Asian-inspired curried rice noodles. For more traditional delicacies, students can whip up a batch of brownies made with //plátanos,// a type of banana popular in Latino countries, or simmer a pot of //puercos frijoles,// or dirty beans, a side dish cooked with cheese and a spicy Spanish sausage called chorizo. They also can learn about the social tradition of tapas, small appetizers usually served before the late dinner hour in Spain, by making some of their own.
