Description - Customs, Culture and Cuisine: Mexican by Danielle Gillespie

Mexican cuisine is found in restaurants all over the world. The authentic dishes people associate with Mexico all have roots in Mesoamerican customs and European trade, with regional highlights creating a tapestry of flavor and culture. From the ranchero plains of El Norte and Baja to the tropical jungle of the Yucatan peninsula and colorful Oaxaca, Mexico offers cuisine richly infused with history, tradition, and nature. Learn about Mexican celebrations and festivals and how food plays a role; the variety of naturally found ingredients and how they affect regional trademark recipes; and the impact of Colonial-era settlers on the country's food production. The Customs, Culture & Cuisine series explores the world's most influential societies. Each volume provides a better understanding of their history and culture while showing how those elements impact and inform their cuisine and culinary styles. From key customs to traditional celebrations, food unites them all.
