Using a technique of reportage and focusing on the mother of the household, we catch a glimpse of how the old and new worlds meet and marry. Sofia Larrinua-Craxton shares her favourite everyday recipes and those popular for special occasions as they have been passed down through the generations. She records the cooking skills she learnt from her mother and grandmother and divulges family secrets that give certain dishes an extra zest to set them apart. Chapters take the reader through the Mexican day from breakfasts to comida (lunchtime), such as Albondigas (meatballs) and Platanos Machos (fried plantain) all the way through to puddings, drinks and snacks. Festivals of the Mexican calender are also explored, and a special look at grilling is included as barbecues were a regular feature during weekends with the author's uncle at his ranch. *** Quantity Available: 1.
