A community cookbook of Mexican recipes by a Los Angeles PTA council, featuring many recipes contributed by Latinas and compiled by a white woman who was president of the PTA. According to the introduction, "In these pages the Mexican-Spanish cooks have tried to make their special type of cooking easier for the Gringo cook.Some of our cooks speak English, but think in Spanish, so their recipes had to be translated into English for our use. We wanted to share the pride of these cooks in their culinary skills and art and to awaken in the Gringo cook an awareness and appreciation of this native food." The book begins with two pages of hints for cooking various Mexican foods, followed by recipes, including ceviche and guacamole, with the contributor of each recipe named. Nine in OCLC. A very good copy with wear along spine, foxing to covers and text block edges, hint of staining to covers.
