Taqueria: New-style Fun and Friendly Mexican Cooking

Taqueria: New-style Fun and Friendly Mexican Cooking by Wilson, Paul. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781743792315.

Taqueria is an homage to the best of Mexican cuisine. Across four chapters (Flavor Fiestas; Salsas, Salads & Vegetables, Taqueria and Margaritas & More), it is a crash course in cooking the food of Latin America right. Its emphasis is on taking the building blocks and showing people that, with quality ingredients, attitude and a little application, they can create an authentic, standout feast. In total, it includes more than 80 recipes, with prominence for a winning Taqueria chapter - with recipes ranging from corn, prawn and bacon tortillas to homemade chorizo and sweet potato quesadillas. As well, the salsas, salads & vegetables chapter recognizes the ever-growing appreciation for plant-based dishes with a 20-plus recipe line-up of envelope-pushing vegetarian dishes (as well as a nod to the near universal love of guacamole in its myriad iterations). The package is loud, punchy and a little bit retro with bold colors that will especially speak to people who have visited, or are familiar, with Taquerias of street-side Mexico.
