  Over 200 simple and authentic Mexican recipes you can cook at home, from breakfasts and beverages to dinners and desserts. Delicious and colorful Mexican cuisine is a combination of many generations of recipes. Each household has family secrets that have blended to create a savory national cuisine. Surprisingly, with a little help from our south-of-the-border neighbors, we can prepare these wonderful and simple dishes.  These secrets are now passed north of the border by Luis and Marilyn Peinado in Bienvenidos to Our Kitchen, a collection of authentic recipes mastered by the authors while living in Mexico. Beginning with the basic elements of Mexican cooking, this book teaches both traditional and contemporary methods of Mexican cooking and applies them to popular and exotic menus and recipes. It’s a mouth-watering compilation of foods that defines Mexico’s heritage.  With the Peinados’ simple guidelines and instructions, basic recipes like tamales, enchiladas, and flán can be part of everyday meals. More adventurous cooks might prefer challenges such as homemade tortillas, salsa, or guacamole. But, for the real spirit of Mexico, follow their recipes for empañadas, albondigitas, or fish fillets in adobo sauce.  Often using the Mexican names for foods, spices, and ingredients, the Peinados provide a comprehensive glossary and easy-to-follow guide to Mexican ingredients and their equivalents in English. This compilation of Mexican recipes, obtained firsthand from real Mexican kitchens, brings out the true essence of Mexican cooking.

  “Well-researched and original” essays on the intersection between food and adventure (Publishers Weekly).  Culinary Tourism is the first book to consider food as both a destination and a means for tourism. The book’s contributors examine the many intersections of food, culture, and tourism in public and commercial contexts, in private and domestic settings, and around the world.   The contributors argue that the sensory experience of eating provides people with a unique means of communication—whether they’re trying out a new kind of ethnic restaurant in their own town or the native cuisine of a place far from home. Editor Lucy Long explains how and why interest in foreign food is expanding tastes and leading to commercial profit in America, but the book also shows how tourism combines personal experiences with cultural and social attitudes toward food and the circumstances that allow for adventurous eating.   “Contributors to the book are widely recognized food experts who encourage readers to venture outside the comforts of home and embark on new eating experiences.” —Lexington Herald-Leader

  Quotes by Julia Child, Gordon Ramsay, April Bloomfield, and many more—for chefs, foodies, or anyone who’s ever resolved a crisis by adding more butter.“Clean plates don’t lie.” —Dan Barber Great chefs are not self-effacing or meek—there’s no room for indecision in the professional kitchen, where the slightest stumble can send an entire restaurant into the weeds. So it follows that even in quieter moments, what chefs have to say is usually opinionated and always illuminating. The Chef Says invites readers to the ultimate food-lover’s dinner party, where cooks from ancient Greece rub shoulders and talk shop with today’s rising stars. These unruly culinarians compliment, compete, and disagree with one another as they discuss childhood and training, taste preferences and trends, the quest for perfection, and the grueling but exhilarating business of opening a restaurant. The Chef Says will captivate anyone who has ever worked in a kitchen, been inspired by a flawlessly ripe tomato, or resolved a crisis by adding more butter.  “Will surely tickle the taste buds of any inquisitive food lover.” —Wallpaper*
