Comida Mexicana

This high-design cookbook is a work of culinary art, overflowing with accessible recipes from the streets of Mexico. As any visitor will tell you, Mexico is a true foodies' paradise - seen especially in the hustle and bustle of its city and small-town streets. Mexican Street Food celebrates the rich, diverse and well-loved recipes found across the country - from breakfast tamales in the thriving metropolis of Mexico City to the tacos you find on every street corner, to incredible snacks and heartier fare, like chicharrones and tortas, and late-night treats like elotes and churros. You'll never go hungry in Mexico.

With stunning food photography - and all of its 70 recipes photographed - and dynamic images of Mexican life throughout the book, this is the perfect gift for the armchair traveler or anyone wanting to throwback to their trip to Mexico.

“'Rosa Cienfuegos's Comida Mexicana is a much-needed vacation to Mexico, or the closest you'll get to one right now. It's not region-specific (Cienfuegos actually lives in Australia now, where she has a Mexican tamaleria and deli); it's more of an overview of Mexican street food favorites, from esquites to mangonadas. Cienfuegos's enthusiasm pops off the colorful pages with help from avocado-slinging lucha libre characters. You can sense a hint of homesickness, but she knows that the best cure for it is to bring Mexico wherever you are--in your kitchen.' - Bon App”

'From mayo-slathered ears of corn to bulbous torta sandwiches, many of Australia-based Cienfuegos’s recipes evoke the late-night roadside fare beloved after an evening of drinking. Lard-rich tamales are a pandemic-ready project, well worth the time it takes to swaddle dough into corn husk wrappers.'
