Fresh Mexico
Growing up in Mexico, Marcela Valladolid rejoiced in the complex moles, dozens of different
chiles, and homemade tortillas that graced her family’s dinner table. Going to school across the
border in San Diego, and later to cooking school in Paris, she found plenty to love in the markets,
quickly folding new ingredients into her repertoire. She also encountered some curious foods masquerading
as authentic Mexican: cheddar cheese—stuffed quesadillas, tortilla chips drowning in still more cheese,
and the ubiquitous everything-but-the-kitchen-sink overstuffed burritos. Where were the authentic,
easy-to-prepare Mexican recipes she grew up with? The brightly flavored seafood ceviches bursting
with freshness? The simple, slender burritos filled with nothing more than intensely flavorful braised
meat and blistered chiles? The healthy salsas that come together in minutes but can transform a meal?
In her vivacious, fresh voice, Marcela aims to invigorate America’s taste for real Mexican food–dishes
that can be accomplished on any busy weeknight but that still express the authentic flavors of her
native cuisine. Her food is much like her, Mexican but influenced by other cultures. You’ ll find
recipes for Tilapia Ceviche; Butternut Squash—Chipotle Bisque; Roasted Pork Loin with Pineapple Glaze;
Ancho-Chocolate Braised Short Ribs; and Fresh Guava Layer Cake.
Inspired ideas, helpful cooking techniques, and ingredient substitutions make this the most accessible,
appealing, and contemporary Mexican cookbook you’ll find today. In addition, fast recipes and dishes
that are low in fat are called out with easy-to-find symbols. With more than a hundred delicious recipes
and beautiful color photography throughout, Fresh Mexico introduces a new generation of Americans to the
vibrant flavors of modern Mexico.
