One thing we love about Mexico is the food.
Certainly we enjoy street tacos and love to
eat at the street vendors, but there is much more to
Mexican food than
the tacos, enchiladas and table salsa we see in most Mexican
restaurants in the US. Mexico has a deep history of foods, a blend
of the influences of Mayan, Aztec and European cultures to say the
least. As we learn more about these wonderful foods we will post
some of our favorite recipes here. Please feel free to download them and
use them as you please. If you wish to reprint them please ask
permission. We owe a great deal to Marilau Ricaud from San
Miguel de Allende where we took several days of her wonderful cooking
classes. She teaches the techniques of traditional Mexican cooking
at her
Traditional Mexican Cooking School. Our salsa and tamale
recipes are the result of our notes and her hand outs from her class,
and we give her a big thank you for her excellent instruction. If you love to cook, her
classes are a once in a lifetime experience but a warning, once you have
found the secret to good Mexican food preparation, eating out at many
restaurants will become a big disappointment. Just reading a
recipe will
not give you the background necessary to fully
understand and appreciate the correct techniques.
If you try some of the
recipes please let us know how you liked them. Most importantly of
all please let us know if you find something wrong with them. Feel
free to ask us any questions also.
The food area is new and
under construction. Please check back frequently as we will be
adding lots of recipes.
