Every plate has a price

Here's what one serving costs. All of these, under a dollar.

Straight from the book's Index by Cost per Plate, priced with U.S. averages from fall 2026.

The money math

Without this book, a family of four can spend {{ m.out }} on takeout suppers.

Cook Irma's suppers instead and the same table eats for {{ m.irma }}.

You keep

Takeout at $25 a night for four (a 2026 U.S. News survey found $20 to $40). Irma's suppers at about $1.50 a plate, the book's own example. Estimates, not promises.

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS

A Letter from Irma

Mija, mijo, come sit down. Pour yourself a coffee. This is going to take a minute, because before I give you one single recipe, I want you to know where they come from.

I was the oldest girl of nine children. With my mother and my father, that made eleven of us at the table, every day, three times a day.

Eleven. Think about that the next time you stand in front of the refrigerator and say there's nothing to eat.

RECIPE 1

The everyday pot of beans

Frijoles de la Olla

Mamá's way

Two puños of beans for every mano at the table, an onion, "some" garlic, and water to the second knuckle over the beans. When the kitchen smelled like beans, she added a puñito of salt.

A letter from Irma

Irma Solórzano

"Mamá, my hands are not your hands."

I grew up on the shore of Lake Pátzcuaro, in Michoacán, the oldest girl of nine. With my mother and father, that made eleven at the table, three times a day. My mother, Mamá Chela, measured with her hands: a puñito of salt, a chorrito of oil, rice in the chipped blue mug.

The winter she turned seventy, she cooked in my kitchen and I caught every handful in a measuring spoon. I filled two school notebooks, and cooked from them for twenty years. This book is those notebooks.

Mija, mijo —

Cook one thing this week. Just one. Start with the pot of beans. If the book doesn't earn its place in your kitchen in 30 days, write to me and you'll get every dollar back.

Con cariño, Irma
