    The Day of the Dead recipes sound luscious and vibrant. The chili-spiked chocolate cake will make a unique addition to our table. Rick Bayless is right about the depth of flavor one finds in a smoked chipotle salsa. In summer I serve this with grilled vegetables. Big hit. Mix a small amount in a Bloody Mary.

      Add a little sass to your table with sugar skulls and pan de muerto (bread of the dead) which is often formed into bone-like shapes. We’re usually in Scottsdale for El Día de los Muertos where it is evident that the Spanish Conquistadors were fighting an uphill battle when they tried to eradicate the “pagan” ritual.
