Mexican market food, a celebration of traditional Mexican cooking

Mexico’s colourful and vibrant food markets lie at the heart of the nation’s celebrated culinary traditions and are the source of many great dishes that have now conquered the world. Yet, curiously, their contribution is rarely acknowledged and often overlooked as as result. But not anymore…

Through a collection of tantalising recipes, personal observations, and wider cultural insight into the traditions that are embodied in market culture, Mexican Market Food: a Celebration of Traditional Mexican Cooking will take you on a fascinating exploration into Mexico’s traditional food market, and will transform your understanding of one of the world’s greatest cuisines in the process.

Written and photographed by Rocio Carvajal, an accomplished cook, food historian, creator of the highly-regarded Pass the Chipotle podcast and Puebla’s Great Food Tour experience, this book will take you on a life-changing journey through the history of Mexican food. It features 12 short essays that give insight into the origins of Mexican food, together with 49 classic recipes and step-by-step instructions, giving readers access to a much-needed collection of the nation’s best-loved foods from the unacknowledged culinary powerhouses of Mexico.
