From the chef and author of Culinary Vietnam comes a culinary adventure through the vibrant culture, history, and cuisines of Mexico.

Mexico’s rich history and myriad cultural influences are reflected in its food, which exposes a largely unexplored world of nuanced flavors and unique ingredients, as well as a wide range of cooking styles and techniques. Dismiss the old notions of Mexican food as tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and refried beans all smothered in melted cheese. Culinary Mexico presents an extensive collection of surprisingly distinct recipes from the diverse regions of Mexico. The delicious food that has evolved from each region makes a bold statement of what a true Mexican feast can and ought to be.

Culinary Mexico presents cuisines from six distinct Mexican regions, from the Northern Frontier, the Pacific Coast, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Central Crossroads, the Colonial Plains and Highlands, and the Yucatán Peninsula. The book also includes complete menus for pairing these unique foods, process photos for cooking, a chapter on techniques, and a resource section. Brimming with full-color photography and interesting lore, this superb cookbook brings you an unexplored world of nuanced flavors, unique ingredients, and all things good of culinary Mexico.
