This book celebrates the richness of Mexico’s main holidays and celebrations through food.
Celebraciones Mexicanas: History, Traditions, and Recipes is the first book to bring the richness and authenticity of the foods of Mexico’s main holidays and celebrations to the American home cook. This cultural cookbook offers insight into the traditional Mexican holidays that punctuate Mexican life and provides more than 200 original recipes to add to our Mexican food repertoire. The authors first discuss Mexican eating customs and then cover 25 holidays and festivals throughout the year, from the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Carnaval, Cinco de Mayo, to the Day of the Revolution, with family celebrations for rites of passage, too. Each holiday/festival includes historical background and cultural and food information. The lavishly illustrated book is appropriate for those seeking basic knowledge of Mexican cooking and customs as well as aficionados of Mexican cuisine.

Andrea Lawson Gray owns San Francisco–based Tres Señoritas Gourmet, a caterer specializing in authentic Mexican cuisine. Adriana Almazan Lahl, a native of Mexico City, attended culinary school in Mexico and Cordon Bleu and is the proprietor of Sal de Vida Gourmet. She also teaches Mexican cooking in the San Francisco area.
