In Mexican Culinary Treasures, Mexican native Maria Elena Cuervo-Lorens welcomes you into her kitchen. She takes you back to the Sundays of her childhood, spent around her grandmother's table; on a shopping expedition with her mother to Mercado La Merced; and for a merienda (snack) of café con leche and biscochos (sweet rolls) at a bakery in downtown Mexico City. Many of the recipes shared were handed down by her mother and grandmother; others were collected from favorite restaurants. The authentic recipes in Mexican Culinary Treasures include old favorites such as tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas, as well as the nouvelle cuisine of cosmopolitan Mexico City: crepes filled with cuitlacoche, oysters with chipotle chile, and chicken in prune and red wine sauce. This beautifully written book brings Mexico's vivid, enticing flavors into your kitchen.

A survey of both traditional to newer creations,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mexican Culinary Treasures: Recipes From Maria Elena's Kitchen (Hippocrene Cookbook Library) (Hardcover)
With so many Mexican cookbooks already on the market, how could yet another make its mark of distinction? Yet, Mexican Culinary Treasures: Recipes From Maria Elena's Kitchen does so with a flourish: Maria's extensive knowledge of her native country's foods lends to a survey of both traditional to newer, more cosmopolitan creations, form Mushroom Quesadillas to Stuffed Poblano Chiles in Walnut Sauce and Guajillo Chile Enchiladas. It's the cook seeking such a wide-ranging mix who will find Mexican Culinary Treasures especially inviting.
