Fresh Mexico: (Paperback) by Valladolid, Marcela

In Fresh Mexico, Marcela Valladolid shows how refreshing and easy to prepare the foods from her native country really are, delivering vibrant flavor without forcing home cooks to source hard-to-find ingredients or spend hours chained to the stove. Crunchy beef tacos, overstuffed burritos, and processed cheese-filled quesadillas may be America's idea of Mexican food, but Marcela is ready to change that.

Dedicated to traditional foods, Marcela also understands the difficulties of feeding a family on a weeknight. Her recipes are quick to pull together, using easy-to-find ingredients and simple cooking techniques. You’ll find dishes such as Cream of Avocado Soup with Lobster and Mango, Oaxaca-Style Short Ribs, and Fresh Guava Layer Cake revelatory in their depth of flavor.

With more than 100 delicious recipes and beautiful color photography throughout, Fresh Mexico introduces a new generation of Americans to the exciting, easy cuisine of modern Mexico.
