Once the weather starts to turn, Grandma gets busy making her famous tamales. THe money she earns will help her fill the empty space under her Christmas with presents for her extensive family, and have plenty to share with those in need. This year, with only a little family help she is aiming for a new high - 1000 dozen!
Growing up in Southern California, tamales was a traditional food available only around the season. And you always bought them from a homemade stand. Briseno sharing his family recipe in his book is a very big deal! A fun way to celebrate and highlight a variety of holiday traditions.
