Mexico: The Cookbook

Product Information

Medrano’s 100 recipes are regional Texas specialties, handed down by generations of Mexican families in Texas who, he argues, eat these foods at home, not Tex-Mex combination plates. Which would be a shame, really, given how exciting such culinary adventures can be, even when the ingredients are new and a little hard to come by. The books below range in difficulty and focus, from savory baking to vegetarian dishes from every region of Mexico.

Reading Mezcla, which is not a mezcal book, gave me a jolt of energy, probably helped by the neon design scheme.

If you’re even slightly curious about Mexican food in Los Angeles—one of the Mexican food capitals of the United States—it’s worth picking up this book.

The book has sections for authentic pastries, breads, candies, beverages and frozen treats – making sure that everybody’s sugar-filled vice is catered for. Compiled by the founders of popular London restaurant Benito’s Hat, Real Mexican Food includes a host of hugely popular burrito, taco and salsa recipes, many of which have been tried and tested on the British public.

In this book, Diana has carefully recorded food recipes from her visits to villages throughout the state.
