Patricia Quintana– A critically acclaimed Mexican chef, author, teacher, businesswoman, and once a culinary ambassador in the Mexican Ministry of Tourism, Quintana is an inspiration to many. Having started her journey in cooking with her great grandmother and grandmother’s kitchens in Oaxaca and Veracruz, Quintana dedicated her career to teaching and researching Mexican gastronomy, and the 32 distinct cooking styles contained within it. Quintana has stated that her “style of cooking brings sophistication to traditional recipes and giv[es] Mexican food the recognition and honor it deserves.”
The Best of Quintana is the tenth book Quintana wrote, and it consists of 60 of her favorite recipes. Some are traditional cultural dishes from different Mexican states, and others are created from Quintana’s research and brilliant mind. The recipes included are favorites of those she worked with, and her own personal favorites– dishes that she’s served at birthdays, weddings, and baptisms, and ones that simply hold special memories for her. The dishes vary from guacamole to mole poblano to churros. If you’re looking for a new chef to learn from, and some Mexican food recipes to try, give Quintana’s books a look.
We also have other books written by her, which can be found by browsing her name in our catalog!
Happy International Women’s Month everyone!

Celebrating Latinas in the Arts
Denton TX – In celebration of Mexican culture on the weekend of Cinco de Mayo, Muchacha Fanzine and The Wounded Healer’s Collective, proudly presents Denton’s first Latina artist showcase “Brown Queen: Our Voz Our Arte” on Cinco de Mayo located in downtown Denton. This cultural celebration is intended to honor, celebrate, and support the cultural contributions and talents of rising local Latina artists. We hope this event can serve to bring attention to Latin@/Hispanic culture and women of color contributions within the artistic community of Denton and the larger DFW metroplex.
Brown Queen: Our Voz Our Arte is brought to you by one of the organizers of the Denton Annual Femme fest, Muchacha Fanzine, a local Latina feminist zine and The Wounded Healer’s Collective, an initiative comprised primarily of local women of color artists, graduate students, and staff from Texas Woman’s University who promote art as a tool for community building and development. This event will include spoken word poetry, comedy, dance, diverse musical performances, food, as well as a visual art auction open to the public. This event will also premiere Muchacha Fanzine’s newest issue “Brown Queen” which includes diverse submissions of poetry, short stories, and visual art by Latina artists around the world.
We invite local businesses, organizations, media sources and YOU to consider being involved in the conservation and creation of culture through the arts by donating to our KICKSTARTER EVENT PAGE. All donations will be used towards event costs. All proceeds of this event will also be donated to the participating local Latina artists as a statement of appreciation, support, and solidarity in the continued nurturance and development of Latina’s in the arts.

Throwback Thursday: Cinco de Mayo in L.A.
We dug through the archives and found a few snapshots of Cinco de Mayo celebrations in Los Angeles over the decades. The information we have for these images is limited, but they offer a glance at our city’s past.
We start on Olvera Street in 1962 and travel back through time, from festivities at City Hall for an overflowing crowd in 1945 to musicians performing in 1947.
We don’t have much information on the following photo from 1951, but I included it because I loved the action and energy of the moment.
The next one is from 1972. Students are putting finishing touches on a 25-by-5-foot mural on Mexico’s history at Compton’s Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. They spent three months researching it and 13 painting it. That’s the mural behind them. Pretty impressive.
The final image is from 1975. Bishop Juan Arzube conducts a Cinco de Mayo Mass in the courtyard of Mount St. Mary’s College.

Health issues: Eat well or better leave the table
This looks a regular meal for anyone who wants a balanced diet. Meat, potatoes, salad, bread, olives and a delicate dressing with jamaica and pine nuts. Forgot it! two glasses of wine. Nothing like to eat without hurries. Slow Food… Slow drinking, slow digestion, slow conversation…

El Baile De Los 41 (2020) dir. by David Pablos
Cinco de Metho!! Celebration Time!!
In only 2 short days it’ll be the greatest holiday of the entire year; Cinco de Metho, which celebrates Mexico officially designating Meth as their gross national product which took them from being a third world nation all the way to becoming the economic powerhouse that they are now.
Mexico went from being nearly the poorest nation, to now being the 134th poorest after deciding to make meth their country’s heart and soul product for export and trade.
Recognizing their achievement, every country world wide designated the 5th of May as a day to celebrate mexico for it’s fine meth production and other cultural aspects that have had a positive influence world wide such as tequila, and the donkey show.
Be sure to smoke plenty of meth to show Mexico your support!!!!
