Acclaimed author/actress Denise Chavez explores the history, lore, and preparation of tacos--and other art forms--in a warm and exuberant memoir, with recipes. "Tacos are sacred to me," writes Chavez, who's set many a fictional scene in a Southwestern restaurant or around a dinner table. And here are her special recipes, including her mother's Tacos a la Delfina ("I swear these tacos are really good cold!") and Granma Lupe's Pasta (not macaroni but a savory mincemeat-like taco filling). Here, too, are tips on shopping, cooking, and serving: "Offer up the meal with gratitude and remember: Tacos are one of life's greatest things!" "We live in chile country," she adds. "We are "blessed" to be here. Food is more than food; it's a culture. And tacos are more than tacos." Chile country is the setting for Chavez's magical, tragicomic fiction.

"Time and love are the essence of all Mexican cooking," Chavez says--including her spicy, juicy writing, and this feast of a book.
