Reviews
"Ericka Sanchez's love and reverie for her time spent in Mexico stirring up mixtures for aguas frescas and paletas in her grandmother's kitchen as a child is infused in every recipe in Aguas Frescas Paletas. She beautifully interprets the classics that were a fixture in my family's home growing up in Mexico and gives us delicious twists from her extensive knowledge of the ingredients of Mexico and California. Ericka shows yet another way Mexicans enrich the American table with this book."
