Actor Danny Trejo’s new cookbook, “Trejo’s Cantina,” is filled with fun, easy recipes for tostadas, nachos and zero-proof drinks.
Trejo doesn’t shy away from his criminal past. He uses it to demonstrate how far a person can go with support, a willingness to change and the desire to contribute to society.Giving back is a big part of his recovery. In the documentary and in interviews, he’s fond of saying:Food has long been one of the ways that he has built community — even in prison.
In “Trejo’s Cantina,” he describes the “prison potlucks” he and other inmates made for fellow San Quentin inmates: “If a bunch of cons can make a concrete table in a maximum security penitentiary feel like a party, imagine what you can do in your kitchen if you treat every meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, like a celebration of life.
I’ve added several of his sauces to my cooking arsenal, and I used his tips to make a Mexican feast for my birthday last month. I picked drinks from his more than 20 zero-proof recipes — my favorites so far are the Cucumber-Jalapeño Agua Fresca and a Watermelon Agua Fresca — and paired them with his quick and easy Shrimp Tostadas With Avocado and Lime Crema.
I brought those recipes with me on a quick beach trip as well. Because Trejo was right: They bring smiles and a delicious party to the table in minutes.
