It's All About Tradition
"My whole life, I've wanted to have big gatherings that are about food and tradition," says Marcela, who has two sons, Fausto, 12, and David, 1, and a third child on the way. For her Day of the Dead party, she designs the menu around her mom's most-loved foods, including empanadas and popcorn, and Día de los Muertos classics such as Mexican hot chocolate.
