Illus. with color photographs. 11.25x8.25”, jacket. First Edition. Mexico: Larouuse, [1993].
Epazote (a medicinal Mexican herb) and molcajete (a traditional Mexican mortar) are two of the best known must-haves in any Mexican kitchen. They exemplify the sentiment of this book, which covers traditional cooking like making masa, a preparation manual for nixtamal and tortillas, types of chilies and their uses, a dictionary of Mexican greens and fruits, antojitos made from corn, etc. An extraordinary book on the subject. Piece of jacket lacking from upper rear panel, else very good.
