Growing up among the Latino population of Santa Ana, California, Esteban Castillo was inspired to create the blog, Chicano Eats , to showcase his love for design, cooking, and culture and provide a space for authentic Latino voices, recipes, and stories to be heard. Building on his blog, this bicultural cookbook includes eighty-five traditional and fusion Mexican recipes—as gorgeous to look at as they are sublime to eat. Chicano cuisine is Mexican food made by Chicanos (Mexican Americans) that has been shaped by the communities in the U.S. where they grew up. It is Mexican food that bisects borders and uses a group of traditional ingredients—chiles, beans, tortillas, corn, and tomatillos—and techniques while boldly incorporating many exciting new twists, local ingredients, and influences from other cultures and regions in the United States. Chicano Eats is packed with easy, flavorful recipes such as: Chicken con Chochoyotes (Chicken and Corn Masa Dumplings) Mac and Queso Fundido Birria (Beef Stew with a Guajillo Chile Broth) Toasted Coconut Horchata Chorizo-Spiced Squash Tacos Champurrado Chocolate Birthday Cake (Inspired by the Mexican drink made with milk and chocolate and thickened with corn masa) Cherry Lime Chia Agua Fresca Accompanied by more than 100 bright, modern photographs, Chicano Eats is a melting pot of delicious and nostalgic recipes, a literal blending of cultures through food that offer a taste of home for Latinos and introduces familiar flavors and ingredients in a completely different and original way for Americans of all ethnic heritages. Review: Beautiful Book - This is a Great Book !!! It was Beautifully done for both very experienced cooks and not so experienced cooks such as myself. I moved to California over ten years ago from Hawaii for a relationship. I was just getting used to Hawaiian Cuisine after several years and I didn't even like Mexican food. My father being stationed in the Marines Corp. like a million years ago in San Diego said Southern California has the absolute best Mexican food ever, make sure you have some. Its the best !! Well, I live in Northern California so its quite a drive but, long story short it might be better in the South according to him but, its still everywhere in this State. Everywhere !! Since it was very hard deciding where to go for dinner because I didn't care for Mexican food and my boyfriend who has lived his entire life here in California from birth absolutely loves it as does the rest of the California population, every ethnic background does so going out to dinner together or with family or friends is most likely going to be at a Mexican restaurant no matter who you go with. So, about 8 years ago I started buying Mexican cook books to learn how to cook for my man. I enjoy cooking meals for him. The more I cooked the more I have grown to truly love and appreciate the food, so versatile and the many flavors and spices like Cumin which is my favorite, and my man being Filipino, learning to cook Mexican has also helped me with his Filipino Cuisine. Similar Herbs and spices are used such as Adobo. I have purchased quite a few Mexican cookbooks, All of them are good but, this one is my favorite, I just love this book its a comfortable easy read with delicious results, unlike some other books that can be intimidating when reading the recipes. Its my go to cookbook which is several times a week. I wish it came out years ago. I really like this book. I think most cooks will too. Review: Beautiful and delicious! - This is the first cooking book I ever bought and I couldn't be happier with it! @chicanoeats not only has simple and delicious recipes that transport me to my mom's home cooking, but it is also has a collection of beautiful photos and colors, I cannot stop flipping through it. The cocktail section is my favorite! There are so many good and easy summer cocktails. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #145,764 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #6 in Latin American Cooking #11 in California Cooking #17 in Mexican Cooking | ## Images ![Chicano Eats: Recipes from My Mexican-American Kitchen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SX32phl9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book *by F***R on July 30, 2020* This is a Great Book !!!

And not the same as "Mexican" *by B***R on February 3, 2021* Really enjoying this book! I'm a California native, and this takes the mystery out of many dishes that my neighbors and classmates have always enjoyed. Chicano cooking is NOT "just like Mexican." It's more casual, maybe a bit punchier. (Dare I say more "neighborhood street" than "uptown tablecloth"?) Esteban kindly includes vegetarian options for many of his recipes, and even adapts some to pressure-cooking. His story-telling is very sweet, and gives a rich cultural context for the food; it's what he grew up with. So, specific recipes: Cilantro-basil pesto." Dios Mio, YES!!! Jalapenos en escabeche: I can stop buying the canned ones now, because making them at home is idiot-simple, and will taste a lot better! Chicken con Chocoyotes: Never even knew that masa dumplings existed; gotta try that! Pressure-cooker birria (using beef instead of goat): Yep! Paletas de ponche de granada: Yes! The drinks, boozy and not, are fun. One place of divergence: Esteban thinks cumin is too strong, and I LOVE it. That's cool. Cooks do things differently in their kitchens... Oh, and it's a really beautiful book, visually. Gorgeous photos, great-quality paper and printing, and a very happy cover.
