$7,500.00

Josefina Velázquez de León (1899-1968) was a pioneer of Mexican gastronomy and an entrepreneur of Mexican cuisine. In 1947, she published Mexican Cook Book Devoted to American Homes. This bilingual English and Spanish, Espanol y Ingles, cookbook is the first Mexican cookbook published in the United States, introducing authentic cuisine from every region of Mexico to an American audience.

“It is a great honor to dedicate the present book”, Josefina writes “to the Distinguished Feminine Society of this Continent and specially the North American Women, in their own language, that has demonstrated interest and pleasure in learning the “Authentic Mexican Cookery” by the continuous petitions of my Academy pupils, from the United States.” – Josefina Velázquez de León
