Tamales Cookbook by Mark Miller, Stephan Pyles, and John Sedlar

The Best Tamale Mexican Cookbook. Mexican recipes.

An entire book dedicated to the tamale, this beautiful cookbook is a joy to look at, let alone cook with. It begins with a basic history of the tamale and instructions for their stuffing, wrapping and cooking. It then offers a huge variety of recipes for what you may have previously thought a one-dimensional dish. There are a dozen recipes for tamale dough alone, and the fillings range from the savory vegetarian, meat and seafood versions to sweet and fruit-filled desserts. The photos are fit for framing, depicting dishes like the "Carmelized Onion Tamales with Tomato-Basil Salad" and "Carnitas Tamales with Pineapple and Tomato-Habanero Sauce". Finish off a meal with "Sweet Pumpkin Tamales with Nutmeg Creme Anglaise".
