A gifted storyteller and chef, Claudette’s recipes and ruminations humanize border culture through 100 accessible and beloved dishes including Coahuila’s Esquites (Street Corn), Las Calandrias Caballitos (Chicken Sopes), and Camarones al Ajillo (Baja Style Garlic Shrimp).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story of a personal and culinary identity that formed betwixt two cultures, told through recipes, anecdotes, and an irreverent sense of humor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBorderlands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e details the Mexican dishes Claudette grew up eating and loves, their American counterparts, and how the fluidity and flexibility between the two nations shows us a way of being in the world.
