Author: Elisabeth Falcone

Elisabeth Falcone was born in Berlin, Germany, two months before the end of World War II. After immigrating to the United States in 1959, she learned to adapt to the American culture. Having completed her foreign language studies and receiving an M.A. in Linguistics from Florida Atlantic University, she became an educator. Whether in the classroom or on television, she has exposed her students to ethnic diversity by sharing with them her insights into other cultures, as well as the “authentic materials” she gathered on her worldwide travels. Her immigrant background has made her acutely aware of the way we interact with people of other ethnicities as we endeavor to find similarities that connect us. Along the way, she has discovered that cooking, one of her hobbies, provides a delicious way of achieving harmony among people. Recipes for multi-ethnic dishes appear in this book. She and her immediate family live along the East Coast of Florida.
