To create the first humans, the gods breathed life into two corncobs. This story reveals how vital corn was to the Mayas, as well as to the Aztecs and other native peoples. The native influence in Mexican cuisine is clearly seen in the thousands of variations on basic corn tortillas, beans, and chili peppers. The Spanish inheritance is shown in the numerous meat dishes and the inclusion of wheat and dairy products. Cuisines of the World: Mexico takes you on a journey of the rich culinary landscape, as well as introduces you to the people, festivals, and regional life of Mexico. All the original recipes are specially chosen by Julia Fernandez, a Mexico City native. Her detailed, step-by-step instructions are accompanied by lush color photos to help you achieve the best results. Cooks of all levels will want to prepare entire Mexican meals to enjoy with family and guests for all occasions.

Excellent Book,

This review is from: Mexico (Cuisines of the World) (Hardcover)
Loved the writing, loved the pictures, loved the clear directions using available ingredients and REALLY loved the food. I'm usually happy with a cookbook if I make two recipes more than once. Do far, I've made all the recipes I've tried repeatedly and have several more selected to sample.
