Mexican cuisine

Mexican cuisine is renowned for its wonderful range of styles and flavour. The incredible array of colours, tastes and ingredients can be attributed to the rich history of the country. Throughout the centuries, many peoples have found a home in Mexico. And the heritage of these different cultures can be sampled in Mexican food. The Aztecs and the Mayas introduced beans, corn and tomatoes and the Spanish added a typically Spanish touch. These influences have resulted in a greatly varied cuisine that has a great deal more to offer than bean stews and tortilla recipes. Furthermore, Mexico is a large country that offers great many regional specialities varying from light fish dishes to meat packed nourishing stews. The cookbook Cantina boasts over 70 delicious recipes that relate to all aspects of Mexican food. The recipes are illustrated with beautiful photographs and interesting facts about the diverse art of Mexican cooking.
