Presentation and Book Signing: Dining with the Dead: A Feast for the Souls on Day of the Dead by Mariana Nuño Ruiz and Ian McEnroe

Each year, the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration ~ Día de los Muertos, brings families together to remember those who passed and to honor their memory through art, ceremony, dance, and cuisine. This is truly how Day of the Dead is celebrated. The stories and images in Dining with the Dead will have you wandering through bustling street markets, smelling the bright fields of marigolds, listening in candlelight to graveside prayers, and tasting heavenly traditional dishes.

Those dishes are the soul of this book. More than 100 alluring recipes and 540 sublime photographs guide you through succulent tamales, pozoles, sweet pan de muerto, and many other festive and delicious iconic dishes. You’ll also learn to make altars, sugar skulls, and decorations. From unlocking the essence of chiles and making perfect scratch-made tortillas to perfecting the king of the moles, Dining with the Dead is an unforgettable cultural and culinary odyssey.

Program includes sugar skull decorating and food samples from recipes featured in the book. Light refreshments will be served.

Books will be available for purchase at our gift shops and at the book signing event.
