Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican food, Tex-Mex, Southwestern cuisine—call it what you will, the foods that originated in Mexico have become everyone's favorites. Yet as we dig into nachos and enchiladas, many people worry about the fats and calories that traditional Mexican food contains. Deleites de la Cocina Mexicana proves that Mexican cooking can be both delicious and healthy. In this bilingual cookbook, Maria Luisa Urdaneta and Daryl F. Kanter provide over 200 recipes for some of the most popular Mexican dishes-guacamole, frijoles, Spanish rice, chiles rellenos, chile con carne, chalupas, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, menudo, tamales, and flan-to name only a few. Without sacrificing a bit of flavor, the authors have modified the recipes to increase complex carbohydrates and total dietary fiber, while decreasing saturated and total fats. These modifications make the recipes suitable for people with diabetes-and all those who want to reduce the fats and calories in their diet. Each recipe also includes a nutritional analysis of calories, fats, sodium, etc., and American Diabetic Association exchange rates. Because diabetes is a growing problem in the Mexican-American community, Deleites de la Cocina Mexicana is vital for all those who need to manage their diet without giving up the foods they love. Let it be your one-stop guide to cooking and eating guilt-free Mexican food.

Book excerpt: Decidí Vivir es una historia de esperanza. La historia sobre mi experiencia personal con la depresión clínica se lee como una novela vertiginosa, con personajes que encantan y frustran. El contenido es duro, pero he aprendido que mi historia está lejos de ser única. La depresión es una enfermedad muy extendida e insidiosa. Mi libro se refiere también a mi búsqueda de la identidad. Después de dejar el mundo de los negocios para cuidar a mis niños pequeños y abuelos, así también como para adaptarme a una cultura muy diferente a la cual me había educado, me evaporé en mi entorno, ya sin estar segura de quién era yo. ¿Cuál era mi propósito? ¿Qué es lo que quería? Estas preguntas me afectaban y ponían en marcha mi tendencia genética a la depresión. La mayoría de las personas responde a estas preguntas sin tener que pasar por la sala de psiquiatría, pero mi camino estaba lleno de baches; la sala de psiquiatría fue sólo una de las muchas paradas. Cada vez que hablo de mi experiencia, conozco gente que a menudo se encuentra a un paso de la devastación mental o incluso del suicidio. Las historias sobre madres, padres, hermanos, hermanas, esposos y niños hacen que me pregunte: ¿Podríamos haber evitado esas muertes? Si estamos más conscientes, podremos ver las primeras señales de la depresión y salvar una vida? Creo que sí. Con esta convicción, ofrezco mi historia. Las ganancias de las ventas de este libro serán donadas a los programas y la investigación para luchar contra las enfermedades mentales.

This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Los Angeles is the setting in which Elaine Miller has collected her narratives from Mexican-Americans. The Mexican folk tradition, varied and richly expressive of the inner life not only of a people but also of the individual as each lives it and personalizes it, is abundantly present in the United States. Since it is in the urban centers that most Mexican-Americans have lived, this collection represents an important contribution to the study of that tradition and to the study of the changes urban life effects on traditional folklore. The collection includes sixty-two legendary narratives and twenty traditional tales. The legendary narratives deal with the virgins and saints as well as with such familiar characters as the vanishing hitchhiker, the headless horseman, and the llorona. Familiar characters appear in the traditional tales—Juan del Oso, Blancaflor, Pedro de Ordimalas, and others. Elaine Miller concludes that the traditional tales are dying out in the city because tale telling itself is not suited to the fast pace of modern urban life, and the situations and characters in the tales are not perceived by the people to be meaningfully related to the everyday challenges and concerns of that life. The legendary tales survive longer in an urban setting because, although containing fantastic elements, they are related to the beliefs and hopes of the narrator—even in the city one may be led to buried treasure on some dark night by a mysterious woman. The penchant of the informants for the fantastic in many of their tales often reflects their hopes and fears, such as their dreams of suddenly acquiring wealth or their fears of being haunted by the dead. Miller closely observes the teller's relation to the stories—to the duendes, the ánimas, Death, God, the devil—and she notes the tension on the part of the informant in his relation to their religion. The material is documented according to several standard tale and motif indices and is placed within the context of the larger body of Hispanic folk tradition by the citation of parallel versions throughout the Hispanic world. The tales, transcribed from taped interviews, are presented in colloquial Spanish accompanied by summaries in English.
