Mexicocina: The Spirit And Style Of The Mexican Kitchen

In the tradition of the popular Mexicolor, photographer Melba Levick captures the bright colours and bold shapes of the kitchens of Mexico, this time touring private historic homes, resorts, and cooking schools. Here, priceless collections of indigenous pottery sit side-by-side with sleek appliances, Frida Kahlo's wooden spoons are right where she left them, and San Pasqual Bailón, the patron saint of cooks and kitchens, blesses every last handmade copper kettle, Talavera tile, and neon sign. Mexicocina tantalises more than just the eyes, featuring mouthwatering recipes for innovative Mexican dishes at the end of each chapter, from appetisers to dessert. Inspiration abounds in these Mexican kitchens, whether the reader is redecorating, making travel reservations, or just dreaming of the scent of café de ollas.
