Recently posted was the recipe for Café de Olla, Receta Tradicional (spiced coffee) and on Dec. 22 will be Buñuelos de Rodilla (knee buñuelos) and on Dec. 29 find Flan de Castaña (chestnut flan).
These are among many other holiday-themed recipes including Ensalada de Navidad (Christmas Salad), Buñuelos (fried dough balls), apple-pecan salad, bread pudding, Ponche de Navidad (Christmas Punch), Mole de Guajolote (Turkey Mole) and others from the early and late 20th century.
