Food in Latinx Fantasy

Image
One of the reasons my story takes place in this country is because I grew up around a lot of people of this culture. The country has a beautiful rich culture that is also influenced from their African ancestors, but also the country is beautiful. One of the things that made writing this so difficult was about the food. I love their food. When I lived in Georgia, which is where I went to school from first grade until I graduated high school, I loved when the school did culture day! Learning about every culture was just fascinating, and I loved every minute of it! I discovered a weakness for this countries food at the time. These are some of the dishes in my Latinx historical fantasy Moqueca Capixaba Ceviche is also a popular dish in all Latinx countries. Shrimp Ceviche Ceviche of Sea Bass Maria Mole Cajuzinho 

Aesthetic for my Latinx Alternate Historical Fantasy

I'm a visual learner. I like to have a visual as to what I'm writing. I made this when I was writing as a motivator. When I wrote this, after my first two manuscripts I wrote that essentially got nowhere. This story was the first one in a long time I was excited writing about as it had never been done before. It has it all, sexy court romance, Brazilian palace and carnival!
