Publisher's Synopsis
Mexican cuisine is as complex as other ancient cuisines, such as those of India, China and Japan, with techniques and skills developed over thousands of years of history. It is created mostly with ingredients native to Mexico, as well as those brought over by the Spanish conquistadors, with some new influences since then. There is more to beautiful Mexico than the clear, blue seas and the exotic culture; the tasty and unique Mexican cuisine is a top favourite all around the world. And there is so much more to discover than burritos, guacamole, and salsa. That is only the first course. As you make your way around Mexico, or even just a small part of it, you will notice how important and unique the home style cooking is. Everything is completely natural and flavourful, rich in colour and taste, along with spices that have a righteous kick. Mexican food has not changed very much in history. It is believed that Mexican cuisine was derived from what the Mayan Indians prepared as far as 2000 years ago. They expertly lived off the land, to sustain themselves with beans, corn, peppers, fruits and chocolate, as well as chicken, turkey, duck, and later pork.
