Additional Details

"Ice creams and gelatins" might sound like dessert, but several of the recipes are for savory preparations such as "gelatina de pata de ternera" (veal leg in jelly). However, sweeter dishes such as "helado de piña," 'ponche de tamarindo' and 'ponche de Zapote prieto' using Mexican ingredients are also included. One patriotic presentation, "Jaletina (de las tres garantias) verde blanca y colorado" uses the national colors to celebrate the Army of the Three Guarantees.
