ONE SMELL AND I’m back in the doorway, watching Abuela and my tias move like they've run this drill a thousand times. I'm a registered dietitian by trade, but my first education was at that stove, where I watched, learned, ate, and moved. Abuela built timing, recovery, and community into every pot without saying any of those words. She knew, intuitively, how traditional Latin meals fuel good health, fend off disease, and promote a long life. Beans most days.
