Ysidro C. Flores

I was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1933. My parents were Leonlina and Jesus Flores. In 1950, I served in the army for three years; during that time, I was deployed to Korea for ten months where I fought against the North Koreans and the Chinese. I was married to Bertha Ochoa Flores in 1952 and had six children. My family and I moved to Kellogg, Idaho, in 1969. I worked as a zinc stripper, underground miner, and security officer before I retired in 1998. During my retirement, I became interested in cooking because my wife was blind. I learned to cook for two because all my children were grown-up. I learned to cook many traditional Mexican dishes. After my wife died, I decided to publish a Mexican cookbook. All the recipes are of Mexican descent, from Northern Mexico, Central Mexico, or Southern Mexico. I still enjoy cooking for two, except it is for my son and me.

I would like to dedicate this cookbook to my wife because she was the one who inspired me.

This cookbook was made in memory of my wife, Bertha Flores.

The old recipes were from my grandmother, Dolores S. Flores; mother, Leonila C. Flores (born in Jeimeny, Mexico); and mother-in-law, Maria R. Ochoa (born in Gaiginalpa). Most of the recipes come from my relatives who originated from Northern Mexico, Central Mexico, and Southern Mexico. Most of
