NOTES : This stew from Latina Lite includes many kinds of tubers, as well 
       as pumpkin, plantains and corn. It makes a lot, but can be 
       reheated. Maria Dolores Beatriz, who founded the Esbeltez chain of 
       Latino-oriented diet centers on the west coast and in Mexico, 
       shares recipes for the home cook in Latina Lite Cooking, Low fat 
       recipes from all over the Americas ($9.99 paperback, Warner 
       Books). Her recipes are homey, flavorful and lower in fat
       than old-fashioned versions.
