Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chopped courgettes

    • nicolepellegrini on March 04, 2015

      This is a tasty, easy zucchini dish to make, best with tender young squash. I like it for a fast vegetarian lunch or a hearty side dish. Leftovers are great the next day as a pasta sauce.

  • Red snapper with coriander

    • nicolepellegrini on March 04, 2015

      Good, fast "after-work" dinner when served with some rice. Uses a lot of coriander, though, so be sure you have it on hand and that it's really good and fresh.

  • Red snapper Veracruz-style

    • nicolepellegrini on March 13, 2015

      This is pretty much my "go to" recipe for Veracruz fish; I'm not sure if that's because it's the first recipe I learned or the one I like the best. It's not too difficult to prepare yet has a lot of rich flavor that appeals to many different taste buds (it's one of the first meals I prepared for my S.O. when we were dating and he still likes it). I usually serve it with some rice and/or fresh tortilla chips.

Publishers Text

"The Festive Food of Mexico" brings together many favourite recipes illustrating the seasons and celebrations of the Mexican year. This book offers a perfect introduction to the exotic and exciting dishes that reflect the vibrancy of the region. The Tortillas, Enchiladas and Guacamole are combined with more unusual dishes, such as Sweet Tamales and the inauspiciously named Bread of the Dead, which contains orange blossom water, and is eaten on All Souls' Day.
