FULLERTON, Calif.,
Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Ask any Latino or Latina and they'll
say their best recipes are the ones that were handed down from one generation
to the next. No doubt, the real sazon
(seasoning) to just about any authentic Hispanic dish comes from wise family
matriarchs who were gifted with the ability to blend the ideal ingredients
coupled with an abundance of pride and joy.
Albertsons is proud to carry on this tradition in their stores by
offering variety of fresh wholesome ingredients to their consumers at a price
that fits their pocketbooks.
In celebration of
Hispanic Heritage Month, Albertsons hosts Latina Celebrity Chef Gina Pacheco at
five of their Southern California store locations where she will demonstrate
her delicious Latin American inspired recipes such as Medallones de Filete de
Res con Mantequilla de Cilantro, y Chipotle (Beef Medallions with Chipotle and
Cilantro Butter) as well as share some of her expert cooking secrets with
consumers. Her bilingual cooking
demonstrations will be held between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. at the following
Albertsons locations:
Saturday, Sept.
26th 920 N Ventura Rd. Oxnard, CA
Sunday, Sept.
27th 1520 Brundage Lane Bakersfield, CA
Saturday, October
10th 13003 Whittier Blvd. Whittier, CA
Sunday, October 11th 1000 N Mountain Ave. Ontario, CA
Saturday, Oct.
17th 1000 N Azusa Ave. Covina, CA
Albertsons will
conclude the celebration with a two-hour celebrity cook-off featuring KBUE
radio personality "Don Cheto" and "La Socia" set for
Sunday, October 18 at the Downey Albertsons, 7676 Firestone Blvd. The excitement won't be just between the
