The Mexican Mama's Kitchen: Authentic Homestyle Recipes

by Sofia Larrinua-Craxton

Mexican Mama Sofia Larrinua-Craxton shares her favorite everyday recipes and those popular for special occasions as they have been passed down through the generations. She records the cooking skills she learned from both her mother and grandmother and reveals family secrets that give certain dishes an extra special zing to set them apart. Chapters take the reader through the Mexican day from breakfast to comida (lunchtime), such as Albondigas (meatballs) and Platano Machos (fried plantain) all the way through to puddings, drinks, and snacks.
