⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Great recipe book!!! Made 4 of the recipes so far, and everything came out way better than I expected!!
Chicano Eats is a bicultural cookbook, including 85 traditional Mexican recipes made by Chicanos, i.e., Mexican Americans. The book is beautifully done, packed with stunning, mouth-watering photos, and easy to follow recipes that taste even better than they look!
This is the Pozole Blanco I made from Chicano Eats. It was a hit with my kids, and now they don’t want it any other way!
