Abstract: The nutritional contribution of various Mexican-American foods is presented in this handbook from the International Development Research Association. Nutrient data were collected as part of the El Paso Project, a series of workshops during which homemakers prepared traditional Mexican-American recipes that were then analyzed by computer for nutrient composition. Recipes are accompanied by bar graphs showing the percentages of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for nine nutrients (calories, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C) provided by a serving of the food. Diabetic exchange information is also presented for each recipe. Background information is provided on the El Paso Project, Mexican-American food habits, food acquisition and preparation, social uses of food, child feeding practices, beliefs affecting food habits, and the nutritional value of the Mexican-American diet. A receipt glossary, nutrient composition table on Mexican-American foods, food exchange chart for calorie-controlled diets, and references list are included.

International Latino Book Award winner, Best Cookbook More than just a cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet redefines what is meant by "traditional" Mexican food by reaching back through hundreds of years of history to reclaim heritage crops as a source of protection from modern diseases of development. Authors Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are life partners; when Luz was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, they both radically changed their diets and began seeking out recipes featuring healthy, vegetarian Mexican foods. They promote a diet that is rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (corn, beans, squash, greens, herbs, and seeds), and are passionate about the idea that Latinos in America, specifically Mexicans, need to ditch the fast food and return to their own culture's food roots for both physical health and spiritual fulfillment. This vegetarian cookbook features over 100 colorful, recipes based on Mesoamerican cuisine and also includes contributions from indigenous cultures throughout the Americas, such as Kabocha Squash in Green Pipian, Aguachile de Quinoa, Mesquite Corn Tortillas, Tepary Bean Salad, and Amaranth Chocolate Cake. Steeped in history but very much rooted in the contemporary world, Decolonize Your Diet will introduce readers to the the energizing, healing properties of a plant-based Mexican American diet. Full-color throughout. Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are professors at California State East Bay and San Francisco State University, respectively. They grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs on their small urban farm. This is their first book.
