Editorial Reviews

The blending of cultures is everywhere apparent in the hybrid volume. . . . Sharply observed, often hilarious.

This multi-artist is a self-declared 'packrat,' not only of stories but also of images, and, I add, recipes. She has picked through her stash and combined the findings into one long, interesting and tasty story.

A delicious feast of rich storytelling, fantastic myths, remarkable multicultural family sagas, and culinary dysfunction in bizarre yet beautiful kitchens across the Southwest and Mexico.
