A collection of more than two hundred treasured family recipes and the stories behind them, Cocina de la Familia is a celebration of Mexican-American home cooking, culture, and family values.
For three years, Marilyn Tausend traveled across the United States and Mexico, talking to hundreds of Mexican and Mexican-American cooks. With the help of chef Miguel Ravago, Tausend tells the tale of these cooks, all of whom have adapted the family dishes and traditions they remember to accommodate a life considerably different from the lives of their parents and grandparents.
In these pages you will find the real food eaten every day by Mexican-American families, whether they live in cities such as Los Angeles, the border towns of Texas, the farming communities of the Pacific Northwest, or the isolated villages of New Mexico. An Oregonian from Morelos, Mexico, balances sweet, earthy chiles with tart tomatillos for a tangy green salsa that is a perfect topping for Chipotle Crab Enchiladas or Huevos Rancheros. A Chicago woman from Guanajuato pairs light, spicy Chicken and Garbanzo Soup with quesadillas for a simple supper. A Los Angeles cook serves a dish of Chicken with Spicy Prune Sauce, the fire of the chiles tamed by Coca-Cola, and in Illinois a woman adds chocolate to the classic Mexican rice pudding.
Now you can re-create the vibrant flavors and rustic textures of this remarkable cuisine in your own kitchen. Most of the recipes are quite simple, and the more complex dishes, like moles and tamales, can be made in stages. So take a savory expedition across borders and generations, and celebrate the spirit and flavor of the Mexican-American table with your own family.

Good price and pretty comfortable
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These down alternative pillows are incredibly soft and comfortable, especially for stomach and back sleepers. The soft density gives just the right amount of support without feeling too firm or too flat. I’ve been sleeping much better since switching to these pillows, and they stay fluffy throughout the night. I also love that they’re hypoallergenic, so there’s no irritation or overheating while sleeping. The standard size fits perfectly in my pillowcases, and the white color looks clean and fresh. Getting a 2-pack at this quality is a great value. Highly recommend for anyone looking for cozy, hotel-style pillows at an affordable price!

Comfortable Pillows
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows have a nice soft feel and are so comfortable. They’re supportive without being too firm, so my neck feels comfortable throughout the night. They’re lightweight, fluffy, and easy to adjust for different sleeping positions. The material feels smooth and well-made, and the pillows hold their shape better than I expected for the price. They use some alternative fill instead of real feathers which is good for people with allergies.

Mid range quality
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
They work for kids who aren’t picky. Size fit twin bedding well. Look nice and clean. Quality is mediocre. It wasn’t filled very much even after giving time for it to breathe and fluff. Kind of lumpy and lopsided.

I bought these to exchange some old pillows on my son's bed and let me tell you.. they are so soft he fell asleep almost instantly! They keep him nice and cool during the night, they have kept their shape so far and they support your neck perfectly.

give this amazon basic option a try
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
great comfort and value for everyday use. Designed with soft density, they provide gentle support that works well for stomach and back sleepers, helping maintain a comfortable sleeping position throughout the night. The down alternative fill feels plush yet lightweight, making the pillow cozy without being too firm. It holds its shape reasonably well and is suitable for guest rooms or daily use. While side sleepers may need more support, this pillow is a solid, affordable option for anyone looking for soft, breathable comfort.
