There were a lot of things that Carmen loved about cooking: working with her hands, following a recipe, measuring things out, honoring her heritage and also getting to share it with others. Thankfully she had a friend like Raina was who almost more than happy to cook or bake with her when she asked. “Okay so making churros is actually pretty easy,” she explained as she got all the ingredients that they would need in order. “And my Abuela’s recipe is way better than any like theme park or mall churro that you’ve had in your lifetime.”
