    What's with the previous note? "Ingredients only, no book or Kindle"?? Do they understand how this website works? That being said, everything I've made from this cookbook has been delicious, I'm I'm sad to see its rating pulled down by an obviously confused person.

  • Pozole rojo

      This was a challenge for me because I never made a pozole rojo before but I had a lot of fun going through all the steps! There were a lot of moving parts but when it all comes together, the pozole is delicious! Adding lime juice and sour cream as toppings is a game changer!

Publishers Text

“What are you?” is a dreaded question that has followed Kiera Wright-Ruiz around her entire life. She is half Latinx and half Asian, and her journey to understand her identity has been far from linear. Though she is a first-generation American, she didn’t have the typical experience often tied to that identity; she didn’t grow up in a home where many traditions from her family’s home countries were passed down by her parents. Kiera’s childhood was complicated, and the role of caregiver was played by various people in her life: from her mom and dad to her grandparents and foster parents. Many of whom were from all different parts of Latin America, and each of them taught Kiera something about what it means to be Latinx through their food.

This cookbook is the story of Kiera’s journey to embrace her identity and all her cultures: Latinx, Asian, and American. It’s a celebration of Latin American food in all its vibrant, flavorful glory, and a love letter to the diaspora. From Ecuador to South Florida, Mexico to Cuba, the recipes in this book are as diverse and unique as the cultures themselves
