A Guide to Mexican Cuisine by Swarupa N Ovalekar

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Rosie Amber

This is an unusual book for me to review, but I was gifted the book by the author and there are some beautiful pictures within and a comprehensive introduction to Mexican cuisine. The book covers the ingredients that are used in Mexican cooking, Mexican traditions, the Mexican diet. It moves on to discuss tradition crops and foods available for Mexican’s in their daily diet. Swarupa also looks at the Spanish and French influences on the Mexican dishes and ingredients. There is a chapter on food common during Mexican festivities and a very detailed glossary of terms. It should be noted that this is not a recipe book, but a book about Mexican food.
