The Secret Recipe
“Una merenda azeremos,” Abuela says to her grandson. “But I don’t understand,” says the boy. “It means ‘we will cook together’ in our secret language,” says Abuela. That evening, Mamá explains that the Spanish Jews took the Ladino language with them when they were forced to leave their homelands in Spain and Portugal during the Inquisition. “Can I learn the secret language?” the boy asks.
