Seasons of My Heart, A Culinary Journey through Oaxaca, Mexico

"I've enjoyed Susana's cooking, teaching, and exuberance for Oaxacan culture. She exudes the full flavor of the Oaxacan kitchen.
Rick Bayless
Chef/owner Frontera Grill and Topolobampo in Chicago, and author of Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico

"Susana evokes in her cooking everything we love about home and hearth. Whether sampling foods in the markets of Oaxaca or transforming them in her kitchen at Rancho Aurora, Susana is one of those nurturing spirits who was born to feed our hearts as well as our bodies and who is thereby a superb translator of culture as well as cuisine."
Betty Fussell
