A 3-part Spanish story series

The Borrowed Palate

El paladar prestado

  1. Part 1: Three Bites of Nothing

    B2 Spanish · 5 min read · Free

    The most feared food critic in Paris has lost his sense of taste three weeks before the review of the decade. His only hope runs a taco truck by the canal, remembers every flavor she's ever met — and won't take his money.

  2. Part 2: Her Grandmother's Error

    B2 Spanish · 5 min read

    One spoonful of the most anticipated dish in Paris is all Abril needs to prove the theft. Unfortunately, proof cuts both ways in this city — and someone has been photographing Arturo for three weeks.

  3. Part 3: The First Flavor Back

    B2 Spanish · 5 min read

    A critic who cannot taste, a recipe stolen twice, and one column left to write. Arturo Delacroix is about to sign the truth — even if it ends his career before the ink dries.
