Taco Tales

Food, family and stories share a deep connection, one that is
often overlooked in the age of instant gratification.
Born into a strong tradition of passing down recipes from
generation to generation, Ivette Pérez de Wenkel's new cookbook
seamlessly blends Mexican cuisine with the culture and experiences from which she learned them. In Taco Tales, she presents more than 40 recipes from her family treasury, along with the history and traditions that make each dish much more than just food.
Collage and papercut illustrations by Anne Wenkel bring the
pages to colorful life, and the interplay of text and illustrations
evokes the tradition of communal cooking and making that has
so strongly influenced the authors.
A collection of delicious Mexican recipes that offers a reminder
that not every important ingredient in a good meal goes into the food itself.
