When it comes to Mexican-American cuisine, there's nothing quite like the traditional recipes passed down through generations of family. These dishes are not only rich in flavor, but also hold a deep cultural significance. At the heart of this cuisine is the siete table, a symbol of togetherness and community. And now, we're sharing our family's most beloved recipes with you in our new cookbook – The Siete Table: Nourishing Mexican-American Recipes from Our Kitchen. Our family's journey with food began when our mother, Veronica, was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions. As a Mexican-American family, we grew up on traditional dishes like tacos, tamales, and enchiladas. But with our mother's health in mind, we set out to recreate these dishes using healthier and more nourishing ingredients. Little did we know, this would lead us to create a whole new way of cooking – one that celebrates the flavors and traditions of Mexican-American cuisine while also being mindful of our health.The Siete Table: Nourishing Mexican-American Recipes from Our Kitchen

With our new cookbook, we wanted to share the beauty and versatility of Mexican-American cuisine with everyone. The Siete Family Cookbook features authentic recipes that have been passed down through generations, as well as new dishes that have been inspired by our family's journey. Each recipe has been carefully crafted to be both delicious and nourishing, using fresh and wholesome ingredients that are easily accessible. From classic dishes like carne asada and chiles rellenos to modern twists on traditional favorites such as cauliflower al pastor tacos and plantain nachos, our cookbook has something for everyone. We've also included recipes for salsas, sauces, and sides to complement your meals, as well as tips and tricks for making your own homemade tortillas (a must for any Mexican-American feast!).The Siete Family Cookbook: Authentic Mexican-American Recipes

Our cookbook not only celebrates the rich flavors of Mexican-American cuisine, but also its versatility. We've taken traditional recipes and added our own unique spin, using ingredients and techniques that are both healthy and delicious. Our goal is to show that you don't have to sacrifice flavor for health – you can have both! For example, instead of using corn tortillas for our tacos, we've created a recipe for grain-free cassava flour tortillas. And for our enchiladas, we've swapped out the traditional corn tortillas for grain-free almond flour tortillas. These small changes not only make our dishes more accessible for those with dietary restrictions, but they also add a new depth of flavor to these classic dishes.Mexican-American Kitchen: Traditional Recipes with a Modern Twist
