The collection of recipes incorporates old and new, with dishes from grandma Jesusita’s kitchen (traditional northern Mexico cuisine), Vangie’s south of the border comfort food-like the Pork in Red Chile-and creative Latin-fusion from Veronica, whose favorites include Green Enchiladas and Tres Leches, and Yvette’s remake of Mango Upside Down Cake.Īnd although geography keeps them apart more often than they’d like-Yvette lives in Colorado, Veronica in Germany and Vangie in Texas-it is not an obstacle, as the gang remains dedicated to maintaining their blog and striving to preserve tradition.
