Food is a constant in all of my books. Lola’s mother’s language of love is food; Abuelita’s, the Cruz family restaurant, is Lola’s home away from home; Yeast of Eden from the Bread Shop Mysteries, is all about bread, bread, bread; even in the Magical Dressmaking Mysteries, Harlow Cassidy has a cool old kitchen where she spends time cooking. Here are some of the recipes featured in my books.
