Portrait of María de la Luz Arellano Miranda, for a story by her son Gustavo Arellano.

In Gustavo’s words, “My latest story for @latimesfood: a eulogy for my mother, María de la Luz Arellano Miranda, who’s dying of Stage 4 ovarian cancer and has weeks to live. I talk about her culinary life, the #capirotada she’ll never make for us again, and the love my siblings and I have for her.”
