Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Zucchini bread

    • hbakke on July 31, 2024

      Great basic zucchini bread. I initially thought it was a little boring, but the flavor seemed improved the following day. I would make this again.

  • White chocolate and apricot oatmeal cookies

    • hbakke on May 30, 2022

      Loved the combination of white chocolate and apricot with the hint of cinnamon in these cookies. The oven temp/size of cookies/time in oven must be off because they took considerably longer to fully bake than the 14 minutes @ 325°F. I would make the cookies smaller next time (1/2 cup of dough makes a huge cookie) and increase the oven temp to 350°F.

Publishers Text

Marcela Valladolid loves to entertain guests at her beautiful home in San Diego, and just as she did in Casa Marcela, this book captures the spirit of her hybrid Mexican-American upbringing in vibrant and mouthwatering recipes. Picadillo Lettuce Cups are topped with avocado and lime and make for perfect finger food; Spicy Chimichurri and Jalapeño-Cilantro Aioli are the perfect addition to a crudite platter; the classic panzanella salad is updated with tomatillos, panela cheese, and pork rinds; and vegetarian options include Chickpea Ceviche Tostadas and Sweet Potato Chipotle Hummus.

Of course there are plenty of cocktails, too--Strawberry Basil Cardamom Margaritas, a Mexican-inspired Old-fashioned, Orange Cinnamon Sour, and the Kalimotxo, a red wine and Mexican Coke sangria.
