About the Book
"A love letter to author Andrea Pons's native Mexico, weaving stories of her family's immigration to the United States with 75 delicious recipes from three generations of women in her family"--Book Synopsis
In this inspiring and creative Mexican cookbook, Andrea Pons takes you on a journey through flavor, family, and her immigration story. With 78 easy and delicious recipes from three generations of women in her family, this cookbook offers a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine. Foreword by James Beard Award nominee Hetty Lui McKinnon The story of Mamacita is the story of contemporary immigration and life in the United States. When Pons was faced with the possibility of deportation, she and her family struggled to navigate the complicated US immigration system, even though the country had been their home for sixteen years. Pons looked to these recipes for help and self-published the original edition of Mamacita to fund her family's significant legal fees. The cookbook became a symbol of her family's journey and a rallying cry to anyone challenged by the complexities of immigration. In these pages, Pons shares her personal story and how creating this cookbook became a way for her to return to her roots and reconnect with her Mexican heritage. This new edition of Mamacita offers 30 more photos and 11 additional recipes, allowing you to taste even more of the love in Pons's dishes, ranging from glorious salsas to filling harinas to tart and sweet postres.Review Quotes
