Cocina De La Familia

Synopsis coming soon.......

Rick Bayless chef/owner, Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, and coauthor of Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen and Authentic Mexican Marilyn Tausend's Cocina de la Familia leads us on a savory Mexican expedition across borders and generations, from mercados to supermarkets -- yet always winding up at the coziness of a family table, where food tastes best. She illuminates how the loving act of cooking for family and friends is a vital way to keep alive memory and heritage.

amazon.com.review Forget about the food you eat in what pass for Mexican restaurants in America; cleanse your palate, then come to this book.

Kathleen Purvis food editor, The Charlotte Observer Well, hallelujah. After endless books celebrating the cooking of France's Provence and Italy's Tuscany, perhaps we're finally coming to appreciate what we have right here. Tausend's writing is eloquent as she captures the voices and stories of people who are too often ignored in the tapestry of American cooking. Bravo for that.

Marilyn Tausend, coauthor of Mexico the Beautiful Cookbook, leads culinary tours throughout Mexico. She lives near Seattle.
