Summary:
"Mexican tables always have an abundance of food. La mesa llena, 'the full table,' is laden with several main dishes, plus salsa, tortillas, rice, beans and other sides. It's a lot of food to prepare alone, which might be a reason why cooking is often a shared experience in Mexican culture. In the neighborhood where I grew up, nobody had much money. But if we brought something to the table, we ate like kings. I was raised by a single mother, though our family dinners were rarely just my mom, sister and me. On many occasions, friends and neighbors would also join us, and family dinners turned into impromptu fiestas. There was one holiday weekend when more than fifty people showed up! We had so much food; we could've fed the entire barrio. Even as a kid, I knew this was something special. Family dinners and celebrations didn't start when we sat down at the table. They started hours earlier in the kitchen, chopping onions or simmering a pot of stew. Cooking wasn't considered work that had to be done before the party started. Cooking was the party. The kichen is my favorite place in the house to socialize and reconnect with family and friends. As we cook, we talk, sharing memories and recipes, both old and new. The most traditional Mexican recipes are given a plant-based makeover of which even a Mexican abuelita would approve -- and , luckily, mine does! These recipes are inspired by the dishes that filled the tables of my childhood: slow-simmered soups and stews, enchiladas, empanadas and tamales, and indispensable sides, like rice, beans, and tortillas. It is about celebrating culture and customs while creating new traditions and memories. It's about appreciating recipes that demand a little more time in the kitchen and encourage us to slow down and connect with those we love."
