As we nail down the schedule for my book tour this spring, I’m so happy to announce that one of the dates will be in my hometown of Washington, DC. I will sit down with Washington Post Food and Travel Editor and fellow cookbook author Joe Yonan at the Sixth & I for what’s surely to be a lively conversation about Mexican food and culture. I will also sign copies of the book following the talk. If you live in the DC area, or will be anywhere near in March, I hope you will join us!
