A Culinary Odyssey with More than 300 Recipes. Mexican food recipes cookbook.

This is Diana Kennedy's sixth and most recent book on Mexican cooking. Here, she brings Mexico to life as she visits the traditional kitchens of Mexico. This is not merely a cookbook, but a wonderful window into the complex nature of Mexican culture and cuisine. Kennedy describes the regions of the country in novel-like detail and then offers recipes from that particular area, each with its own story. The recipes are elegant in their simplicity. Try the Pollo en Pipian Verde (Chicken in Pumpkin Seed Sauce) from the State of Puebla, Mole de Olla Hidalguense from Hidalgo or Vegetable Pears with Cream (Chayotes con Natas) from Zacatecas. The Chile Rellenos de Acelgasy Chicharos (Chiles Stuffed with Chard and Peas) would be a wonderful meat-free entree. Whatever your preference, there are 300+ recipes to choose from in this beautiful and informative book.
