MAMACITA (MEXICAN) (PRINCETON ARCH PRESS) (HB)

A love letter to the author’s native Mexico, this beautiful cookbook weaves stories of her family’s immigration to the U.S. with 75 recipes from three generations of women. Begun as a project to connect with her roots, the book became a rallying cry as Andrea and her family fought deportation from their home of over twenty years. Recipes include Elote Mexicano (Mexican Street Corn), Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup), Albondigas en Chipotle (Meatballs in Chipotle Sauce), and Rosca de Naranja (Orange Bundt Cake) from Andrea’s grandmother’s bakery in Mexico.
