Publisher's Synopsis
"Kitchens are the heart of the home. In Maria Gutierrez's family, kitchens are where traditions are created and shared, the conversation and storytelling are lively, and tiny demonstrations of love are served daily. Gutierrez's mother and many grandmothers instilled a deep appreciaion for food and story that is passed down from generation to generation, all imbued with memory and history. Las Abuelas maps the women of Gutierrez's lineage through their recipes and the simple everyday ceremony of nourishing stomachs and hearts."--Back. cover.
