This book of stories and recipes introduces two eccentric families
that would never have eaten together, let alone exchanged recipes,
but for the improbable marriage of the author’s parents: a
nuevomexicano from Taos and a painter who came from Texas to New
Mexico to study art. Recalling the good and the terrible cooks in
her family, Anita RodrÃguez also shares the complications of
navigating a safe path among contradictory cultural perspectives.
She takes us from the mountain villages of New Mexico in the 1940s
to sipping mint juleps on the porch of a mansion in the South, and
also on a prolonged pilgrimage to Mexico and back again to New
Mexico. Accompanied by RodrÃguez’s vibrant paintings—including
scenes of people eating on fiesta nights and plastering an adobe
church—Coyota in the Kitchen shows how food reflects the
complicated family histories that shape our lives.
