Summary:

"'What are you?' is a dreaded question that has followed Kiera Wright-Ruiz around her entire life. She is half Latinx and half Asian, and her journey to understand her identity has been far from linear. Though she is a first-generation American, she didn't grow up in a home where many traditions from her family's home countries were passed down by her parents. Kiera's childhood was complicated, and the role of caregiver was played by various people in her life: from her mom and dad to her grandparents and foster parents. Many of whom were from all different parts of Latin America, and each of them taught Kiera something about what it means to be Latinx through their food. This cookbook is the story of Kiera's journey to embrace her identity and all her cultures: Latinx, Asian, and American"-- Provided by publisher.
