Ruben's Cookbook

More Than Recipes

This isn't a cookbook. It's a family heirloom in the making.

Every dish tells a story. The salsa that became legendary at family gatherings. The comfort food that got us through hard times. The experiments that became traditions.

Ruben "Gonzo" Gonzales Jr. didn't write this to show off. He wrote it so his daughter—and yours—would never have to wonder "how do I make that thing Dad used to make?"

"The best meals aren't just food—they're moments. This book is my attempt to give you both." — Ruben "Gonzo" Gonzales Jr.
