Editorial Review:
Join author and chef Daniel Hoyer on a journey of discovery through the varied geography, culture, history, and cuisine 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.

We're adding Culinary Mexico to our small collection of Mexican recipe books. It joins books by Diana Kennedy and Rick Bayless as this author has created an excellent and definitive work on Mexican cuisine. Although we especially ... Read More
