Hola Hola!
Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for rompope, a Mexican milk punch similar to eggnog! But before I get to the recipe, I just wanted to share some great news with you! My book, Chicano Eats: Recipes from My Mexican American Kitchen made it onto Forbes “10 of the Best Cookbooks in 2020” list, as well as Food and Wine’s “Favorite Cookbooks of 2020” list, and I heard through the grapevine that it also made it onto the Washington Post’s list of Best Cookbooks of 2020 which is coming out in a couple of days! The book is currently on sale for $21.50 on Amazon, so if you need any stocking stuffers or gifts for foodies in your life, purchase a copy here!
I wish I could come up with the right words to explain just how grateful and proud I am to see all of the hard work and passion I poured into the book pay off! I definitely had moments when I was working on the book where I was stressed and exhausted wondering if anyone was going to even like the book, but getting to watch so many folks (who have never cooked before) get into the kitchen and dominate the more challenging recipes from the book like my birria or mole coloradito makes me so incredibly proud that I’m able to make our cultura and recipes much more accessible.
