Good morfnoevight all you happy stoners!
So I am looking into selling my book on Amazon or other world platforms.
When you submit a manuscript to Amazon the first step is a literary review by their panel, this is an excerpt from that review.

From seasoned lard and hand-rolled tamales to chili verde and tostada compuestas, the book captures the flavor and heritage of a legendary dining institution while offering readers a glimpse into the heart of Mexican American culinary culture.

I think it was a sales pitch to go with them but it still makes me feel good!
