A collection of 100 recipes for anyone who wants to cook traditional Mexican
food in all its surprising freshness and variety, ranging from the simplest
dishes to more complex ones, and including both the classic and the
lesser-known regional gems of this cuisine.
Nopalito provides a snapshot of regional Mexican cuisine from the perspective
of Gonzalo Guzman, head chef at San Francisco’s popular restaurant of the same
name. With recipes for 100 traditional Mexican dishes (but through a California
lens) from Puebla, Mexico City, Michoacán, the Yucatán, and beyond--including
many recipes from the author’s hometown of Veracruz--this beautifully
photographed cookbook brings the warmth of Mexican cooking into the kitchens
of home cooks. The book includes fundamental techniques of Mexican cuisine,
insights into Mexican food and culture, and favorite recipes from Nopalito.
