This collection of recipes offers exciting new flavors to add a Mayan spice to any kitchen. Included are descriptions for each dish, detailing how it is customarily used and its history in the kitchens of the past. The cookbook is written for an English-speaking audience, and the ingredients and special cooking techniques are explained in a section entitled "Yucatan Pantry." The author separates the recipes into easy-to-follow sections for the cook's convenience and offers numerous options for both vegetarians and meat-eaters.
About the Author
In 1997, at the urging of her husband, she retired and began traveling extensively in Mexico. When Miller settled in the Yucatan, she discovered a cuisine very different from mainland Mexican cooking and set out to learn as much as possible about it.

This review is from: Yucatan Kitchen, A: Regional Recipes from Mexico's Mundo Maya (Paperback)
This introduction to regional Mexican dishes of the Yucatan provides an easy basic beginner's guide which describes what ingredients are common to Mayan foods, techniques for preparation, and classic dishes. Many of the dishes have been adapted from regional cookbooks to make them easy for the home American chef to prepare, while introductory notes on local cuisines and specialties provide insights into the origins of dishes. There are some real surprises here - such as Pork Simmered in Cola - but anticipate a book which is filled with delightful surprises and fun.
