Title: Flavours of Mexico
Description: Grafton. 1991. (ISBN: 9780586210437). Paperback. Paperback in fine condition internally with some page yellowing but cover well creased. 1991 1st Grafton edition. From the author of "Hot and Spicy" comes this book about Mexican cuisine. Rich with spice, it is not always fiery but relies on a careful balance of aroma, taste and texture. Contemporary Mexican food still bears the flavour of its ancient heritage, and its two staples, corn and chillies, are as much a part of today's Mexican cuisine as they were for the Aztecs, Toltecs and Mayans. Like Indian food, Mexican cooking has a wide range of spice-laden dishes and simple rice dishes and flat breads to enjoy them with. Mexican dishes can be relatively easy to prepare - and can include a sprinkle of cayenne pepper on pineapple as a starter; a vegetable-rich soup seasoned with lime and spicy salsa; a melty fondue of cheese and mild chile strips; and zesty spiced meat tucked into a tortilla. Mexico/Cooking. 0-586-21043-1. Used: Acceptable.
