Essential Cuisines of Mexico

More than 25 years ago, when Diana Kennedy published The Cuisines of Mexico, knowledge and appreciation of authentic Mexican cooking were in their infancy. But change was in the air. Home cooks turned to Julia Child for an introduction to French cuisine; to Marcella Hazan for the tastes of Italy; and through Diana Kennedy they discovered a delicious and highly developed culinary tradition they barely knew existed, making her books bestsellers. Today, with the rediscovery of Mexican food, and with increased Mexican immigration into the U.S. and a far greater availability of ingredients, the time is right for this indispensable cookbook. In addition to the hundreds of original recipes--all updated--that sparked a culinary revolution, the book contains more than 30 new recipes that establish this book as the definitive Mexican cookbook for today's home cooks.
