Muy Bueno

When people ask us why we named our blog and cookbook Muy Bueno, our response is that our mother/grandmother (Grandma Jesusita) would always invite family and friends to her table with the same words: “Siéntate a comer, esta Muy Bueno” (Sit down and eat, it’s very good). And she lingered on the “muuuuy bueno” with a smile, raised eyebrows, and a twinkle in her eyes as if to let her guests know they were in for a treat. Those two words—and the memory of Grandma and her legendary meals—never fail to bring smiles to our faces too.
