A personal approach to Mexican food through the eyes of an admiring granddaughter Discover a life's worth of Mexican food in My Abuelo's Mexican Feast, a beautifully illustrated cookbook that reveals the heart of Mexico through authentic dishes and fond memories of a beloved grandfather. With the help of her mother, Elsa, illustrator Daniella Germain has brought together a collection of delicious recipes that will bring her family table to yours. From street food to traditional ranch food, Mexican sandwiches to tortillas, the chapters of My Abuelo's Mexican Feast are based around the different stages of her Abuelo's life, where the recipes are paired with brief anecdotes of his life. Many recipes are original, copied down by Daniella's Abuelo in his early years, while others are inspired by a lifestyle that her parents experienced growing up in Mexico. My Abuelo's Mexican Feast is an authentic look at the food of Mexico, going to the soul of Mexican cooking and family life that will resonate with people in any corner of the world.

This is no ordinary cookbook - it is a lavishly illustrated, whimsical journey to the heart of 'real' Mexican food. You won't find the obligatory Tex-Mex nachosor hard tacos here - this book celebrates clean, spicy, authentic Mexican flavours. Daniella includes all the recipes she learned from her Mexican grandmother - her abuela - while they spent their time together in the kitchen. Savoury recipesinclude Cuete en salsa de nuez (beef in nut sauce); chiles en nogada (stuffed chillies); Langostinos a la veracruzana (Veracruz-style prawns); and Pan de muerto (Day of the Dead bread). Also included are sections on Mexican basics - such as cooking with Mexican herbs and spices, and chilli varieties - as well as classic salsas, rice, tortillas and bean dishes.

Cocina mexicana ist die Hommage der jungen australischen Illustratorin Daniella Germain an ihr mexikanisches Erbe. Seit sie zwei war, nahm ihre Mutter sie regelmäßig in ihre mexikanische Heimat mit. Dort versammelte sich die große Familie um „Abuelas“ Tisch und ließ sich bei viel Gelächter das leckere Essen der Großmutter schmecken. Man feierte die mexikanischen Feste wie den Dreikönigstag und den fröhlichen Totentag miteinander und genoss dazu die typischen Gerichte.
