I Can't Cook Because I'm a White Girl encourages everyone to overcome the cultural diversity and stigmas so often associated with ethnic cooking in today's society. No matter from which region of the country one may originate, simplicity and frugality are the keywords in these numerous and easy-to-prepare recipes. This cookbook contains an eclectic blend of often-forgotten favorites, such as Capirotada and Hotter Than Hell Salsa, recipes commonly overlooked in the glow of the larger Southwestern cities. Also included are common down-home meals and a few European specialties that have been forgotten by too many in today's hustle-and-bustle society.
Ms. Quijas was raised in Europe, a wonderfully diverse country filled with magically induced superstitions and the mystical beliefs of the old. The ancient tales told there, the basis to many of our fairytales, she learned were meant to frighten children. Strangely enough, all these beloved tales hold a semblance of truth in their dark depths.
The stories Ms. Quijas writes hold that essence, where the darkness of life borders on the edge of sunset and where the dead savor or regret those long and lonely hours until the sun rises on the horizon.
Where every soul has a chance at redemption....
On a quick note, Ms. Quijas does write the occasional contemporary romance and cookbooks.
