México

Drawing on the many journeys the author has made through every corner of Mexico, this book is an absorbing voyage into the heart of the national cuisine and a tribute to the country's culinary richness at a time when that heritage risks being lost or distorted. It is far more than a valuable collection of traditional recipes. It is also a compendium that gathers anecdotes, geographical information, historical facts, and details about the customs, folklore, and culture of the various states of the republic. The work is organized into several chapters, each corresponding to a region of Mexico.
