Every Friday evening, the Nunez family sits down to a traditional religious dinner.
Like most families in their Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, their Jewish Sabbath meal includes blessings over the wine and bread, the company of family and friends and excellent food.
But for the Nunez family, the Sabbath table would not be complete without salsa picada and jalapeno dip.
Moshe Nunez, an information technology consultant and motivational speaker, was born to a Mexican father and American mother and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico.
His wife, ChanaLeah, grew up in Panama, the daughter of a Salvadoran mother and American-born father.
"Our home is a Latin American home," Nunez says.
"We bring into our home a mixture of the American and Latin culture, and that's reflected in the way we eat. We also enjoy hosting guests, so it's a very Hispanic thing, and a Jewish thing."
