The ultimate compendium of regional Mexican cuisine.
La Mesa Mexicana features more than 120 recipes that showcase the diversity, breadth and influence of Mexican ingredients and cuisine on the global stage.
The book begins in the north of Mexico with the original recipes for Chile con queso, Carne asada and traditional Tacos de pescado. Rosa then takes us to the central heart where we discover ‘drowned’ Tortas, local Goat tacos, and unique desserts like Ixtete and Uvate, before ending in the south where we learn the secrets to a classic mole negro, tlayudas and more.
Filled with stunning food and location photography, and stories from each of the regions that explore the history, ingredients, and cultures of this breathtaking country, La Mesa Mexicana is an ode to one of the oldest cuisines in the world; a celebration of the globally recognised and lesser-known indigenous recipes that have been passed down through the generations.
