in between recipes, the author tells stories of moving to mexico from l.a. and of the people she met who cooked for her and gave her recipes. it's interesting, though many of the recipes are either obvious or repetitive if you know anything about latin american and mayan cooking. (but if you don't, i recommend this book).
