Norteña--meaning \"northerner\"--tells the tale of the northern states of Mexico: of the coastlines and fresh seafood, the cattle ranches, sun- ripened fruits and vegetables, and family gatherings around the table. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe shares easy-to-follow recipes for the world-famous Baja fish tacos, \"piggy\" pinto beans, vegan chorizo, crab tostadas, sopes (corn patties) piled with fresh vegetables and served in a tomato broth, and empanadas Californianas (shredded beef empanadas), all accompanied by mouth-watering spicy salsas, fresh queso and zingy salads. There are recipes para la sed (for the thirst), which include the best margaritas, and favorite sweets like Mexican flan and camotes (sweet potato poached until tender in a sweet, spiced syrup). With ingredient substitutes and vegetarian variations, you can recreate authentic dishes for everyone to enjoy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEngaging introductions describe the cultural events and influences that play such a huge part in the cuisine, such as for carne asada, which originated in the state of Sonora, or the tamales estilo Sinaloa, wrapped with special care at Christmas time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Influenced by Karla's family's traditions, her travels and tastes, each recipe is packed with flavor and cooked with love. Let yourself be transported to the Baja peninsula, rolling corn tortillas in the sun, sipping on a refreshing michelada and cooled by the breeze coming in from the sea. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuenos Dias\/Good Morning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEsenciales Norteñas\/Northern Essentials \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlgo Picosito\/Something Spicy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDel Huerto\/From the Garden \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDel Mar\/From the Sea \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDel Rancho\/From the Ranch \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinal Dulce\/Sweet Ending \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePara la Sed\/For the Thirst \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarne Asada\/Mexican Feast\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKarla Zazueta grew up in Baja California, in the north of Mexico.
