Mexican Cooking Cookbooks by Diana Kennedy
Diana Kennedy is considered by many to be "the" authority on Mexican cooking.
Diana Kennedy is considered by many to be "the" authority on Mexican cooking. Ms. Kennedy spent more than 45 years traveling through Mexico gathering history, recipes, as well as cooking tips and techniques.
Throughout the years she has dedicated much of her life to translating that information into a series of cookbooks that are authoritative and some of the best resources for information about Mexican cuisine.
Kennedy's first book was
The Cuisine's of Mexico written in 1972. Her
second book title
The Tortilla Book debuted in 1975 back when "a good
tortilla was hard to come by".
Regional Cooks of Mexico was printed in
1978 and (our favorite) T
he Art of Mexican Cooking was first released
in 1989. In 1998 Kennedy published My Mexico which is both a compendium of over
300 recipes as well as her memoir.
Ms. Kennedy's latest book released in
September 2003 is
From My Kitchen, Techniques and
Ingredients. Another must-have for anyone truly interested in
Mexican Foods, Cooking & History. The book has beautiful photos of
ingredients, recipes, preparation techniques and the usual glossary.
