Floras Kitchen: Recipes from a New Mexico Family : LA Cocina De Flora : Recetas De Una Familia De Nuevo Mexico

by Regina Romero

In this special cookbook, Regina Romero recalls the traditional Hispanic cooking in the home of her grandmother, Flora Duran Romero, famous for her cooking for six decades. Over fifty classic recipes cover a wide spectrum of delicious chile verde caldo (green chile stew), fideos (a delicate noodle dish), empanaditas (little turnovers), natillas (a heavenly meringue dessert that melts in the mouth), and dozens more. All ingredients and directions have been carefully updated to include modern techniques and current sources of supply. Everyone can make these dishes--even the reduced -fat tamales! Regina Romero has combined the recipes with a heart-warming memoir of this remarkable family. The result is a unique contribution to Southwest cooking.
