As a third-generation Mexican American family from South Texas, the five siblings of the Garza family grew up sharing meals around the table. When their sister, Veronica, was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that required a grain-free diet, her family rallied around her and adjusted their eating habits accordingly. It was difficult to forgo the foods that were associated with some of their best memories—tacos, queso, and chips in the backyard with friends and neighbors—and avoiding those dishes felt like turning their back on their heritage. So, Veronica began experimenting in the kitchen, using alternative ingredients to reinvent traditional foods. When she made a grain-free tortilla that got her family’s stamp of approval, she knew she was onto something. Shortly after, Siete Family Foods was born.

Today Siete has become a bestselling international food brand. In Siete Family Foods Cookbook, the Garzas share their delicious grain-free Mexican-American dishes with you, and honor the culture and traditions that inspire them. With recipes such as Grain Free Pancakes with Cajeta, Pirata Tacos, Shrimp Tostadas, Vegan Chorizo, Nopalito Salad and Gluten Free Churros, both Mexican food aficionados and ingredient-conscious eaters will find plenty to love. All dishes can be made dairy free, and many others can be adjusted to be vegetarian or vegan.

Rooted in the inspiring story of one family’s innovation and collaborative success, this title is a true reflection of the intersections of food and culture, wellness and tradition—with the love of family at its center.
