Notes about this book

  • robm on May 22, 2020

    A terrific collection of authentic Mexican recipes, creatively veganized. Many of the ingredients and techniques can be adapted to cuisines other than Mexican, so this is a particularly useful book to own if you are vegan or into plant-based cooking. One "tweak" to the recipes: the author uses lemon juice and probiotic powder as a way to sour dairy analogues like cheeses and cream and give them that cultured "tang." It's likely possible to substitute vegan lactic acid (available online) to achieve the same effect without having to wait for the cheese or cream to ferment. Try it both ways to see which you prefer.
