The Siete Table: Nourishing Mexican-American Recipes from Our Kitchen

by Garza Family, The

Overview

From the Garza family, creators of Siete Family Foods brand, comes this flavorful collection of nourishing Mexican-American recipes. 

When the Garza family began experimenting with making grain-free tortillas eight years ago to support the dietary needs of a family member, they could never have imagined how many lives they would touch. Today, Siete Family Foods brings Mexican-American foods into kitchens across the country. And now, with their first cookbook, the Garzas are excited to share the beloved family recipes and traditions that inspire their best selling products. 

In The Siete Table, the Garzas share more than 100 delicious gluten-free Mexican-American dishes that span every course and occasion. Both Mexican food aficionados and health-conscious eaters will find plenty to love, since each dish can be made dairy-free and many can be adjusted to be vegetarian or vegan, so there’s something for everyone. From Shrimp Tostadas to Enchiladas Suizas, Barbacoa to Vegan Chorizo, Chiles Toreados to Salsa Cruda, and Churros to Passion Fruit Margaritas, the recipes in this book are versatile and meant to be shared, savored, and celebrated with loved ones. 

Rooted in the inspiring story of one family’s innovation and collaborative success, The Siete Table is a true reflection of the intersections of food and culture, wellness and tradition—with love of family at its center. 

¡Buen provecho!

The Siete Table includes more than 60 full-color photographs.

The Garza family, founders of Siete Foods, known for its grain-free tortillas, share inviting yet healthful recipes in this versatile collection of grain-free fare. Classics such as arroz con pollo, fish tacos, and the tomato-noodle soup known as sopa de fideo stay close to tradition, while seafoodless ceviche employs “fresh, briny” hearts of palm, and a grain-free beef Milanesa—akin to schnitzel—is given a crunchy coating via ground almond-flour tortilla chips. Even refried beans get a makeover, sprouted for a few days beforehand to gain nutrition, then cooked with coconut oil and seasoning. Key techniques are explained with sprinklings of puns, lending a convivial tone: An hour’s salting and rinse of the paddles for nopalito helps retain their bright, “fan-cactus addition” of color. Drinks and sweets include cashew milk horchata made with maple syrup, and a quick-prep cajeta sauce (for dipping churros) that relies on coconut milk and coconut sugar, lemon juice, and cashew butter. “Our heritage continues to influence the way we eat, invite, gather, honor, remember and celebrate,” they write. The Garzas’ fresh ideas and inclusive spirit are sure to broaden horizons for anyone who cooks with dietary challenges in mind. Agent: Nicole Tourtelo, Gernert Co. (Oct.)
