Grandma’s Lenten Capirotada/ La Capirotada de mi abuela
Grandma’s Lenten Capirotada is based on a true story from the author’s childhood. It is rich with teachings during the Lenten time that are popular in the Mexican-American culture. The bilingual story includes a recipe for the popular Capirotada or Lenten Bread Pudding which is served during Lent. The story tells about the religious practices of her paternal grandmother and how she learned about faith and the meaning of the ingredients in the pudding. To this day, the author has carried on the tradition of making Capirotada during Lent. The book points out the value of keeping family traditions and learning about our past.
