My Abuelo’s Mexican Feast

Reading the stories of the recipes in My Abuelo's Mexican Feast makes you feel like a part of the family.

My Abuelo’s Mexican Feast is a love letter to Daniella Germain’s grandparents, and the meals they shared as a family. She says, “Most of the recipes in this book are those of my Abuela, and some have been in our family for many generations. The recipes are structured around the journey of my Abuelo’s life, and the food he loved – from his childhood growing up in the fishing town of Alvarado, to Mexico City, where he gained an education and established his family life and career, enjoying the fruits of his labour.”

The authenticity on every page is a delight. Some recipes were items on the menu in the family restaurant, some have been passed down from Spanish ancestors, some are the sweet treats that the author and her sister ate as children. Reading the stories of these recipes makes you feel like a part of the family.
