The Essential Cuisines of Mexico

Sue Dyson and Roger McShane

Food writers

The title of this book sums up the approach of the author to the food of Mexico. She rightly sees it as many different cuisines with their own identity. The book is a compendium of Diana Kennedy's three major works The Cuisines of Mexico, The Tortilla Book, and Mexican Regional Cooking. Kennedy writes with authority and an obvious love for the country, the people and the food.

I married a Californian, so learning about Mexican food was an absolute necessity. A definitive guide.
