The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook: 400 authentic everyday recipes for the home cook

Product Information

Author Sanaa Abourezk is something of an expert on Mediterranean food, with four cookbooks under her belt, as well as a restaurant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Fresh chiles, like jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros, are used to add heat (a little or a lot), texture and color to your dish, like fresh salsas. You'll find clever swaps such as spaghetti Bolognese made with mushrooms, and some extravagant creations like a jalapeño popper–topped pizza. No joke, one bite of her beet hummus with parsnip fries will make you think you've been transported to Big Sur. The four spice blends feature 20 different Mexican spices including eight different chillies that are blended together to make wonderfully tangy, spicy and smoky mixes which can be added to any of the recipes in the book and more.
