Eat Mexico: Recipes from Mexico City's Streets, Markets and Fondas

Lesley Tellez

Eat Mexico is a love letter to the intricate cuisine of Mexico City written by a young journalist who lived and ate there for four years. It showcases food from the city's streets: the football-shaped bean-stuffed corn tlacoyo topped with cactus and salsa; the tortas bulging with turkey confit and a peppery herb called papalo; the beer-braised rabbit slow-cooked until tender. The book ends on a personal note with a chapter highlighting the creative Mexican-inspired dishes - such as roasted poblano oatmeal - that Lesley cooks at home in New York with ingredients she discovered in Mexico. Ambitious cooks and armchair travellers alike will enjoy Lesley's Eat Mexico.>
