“The most notable contenders to the cupcake throne are macarons,
whoopie pies, and, my personal favorite: ice pops. The 27-degree
temps right now notwithstanding, I'm ready to crack open Fany
Gerson's Paletas. Gerson's My Sweet Mexico was one of my favorite
cookbooks of 2010, and Paletas looks to be equally wonderful, with
recipes for ice pops in flavors ranging from coconut and
mango-chile to horchata-strawberry and dulce de leche. Gerson plans
to open a shop in New York serving paletas, ice cream, sorbets, and
aguas frescas in late spring.”

“Lickably luscious, Paletas lets you freeze your own authentic icy
Mexican treats, from the spiced (with chiles) to the spiked (with
tequila)—and everything in between!”
—David Lebovitz, author of Ready for Dessert, The Sweet Life in
Paris, and The Perfect Scoop
“Fany Gerson has followed up the triumph of My Sweet Mexico with
Paletas, an engagingly written look at Mexico’s frozen treats and
refreshing drinks.No one is better suited to introduce us to this
delicious branch of Mexican culinary tradition that so deserves to
be better known.”
