WahacaMexican Food at Home By Thomasina Miers

Love this book!!! Beautifully laid out. Easy to follow recipes. Definitely not a beginners book. WahacaMexican Food at Home This book has major problems! Many of the recipes make no sense – they include ingredients that are never used in the instructions or have a very non specific instructions. On the plus side, it’s like someone is telling you how to make a recipe. On the minus side, it’s like someone is telling you how to cook without actually making the dish and making sure the instructions work. If you were actually looking to make dishes, I would not recommend this book. WahacaMexican Food at Home Good recipes. Like the book! WahacaMexican Food at Home Excellent addition to my recipe collection WahacaMexican Food at Home When in London on holidays my husband and I frequented Wahaca on multiple occasions. Being able to bring some of the yummy menu items home has been brilliant! I actually used a number of these recipes for a recent dinner party for 15 people and everyone raves about the flavours and simplicity of the food. I HIGHLY suggest you buy this book. If you're living in Australia, there are places you can find the special spices and chillies to buy get online! WahacaMexican Food at Home

This book is great. We loved the restaurant and wanted to make our favorites at home. Some ingredients are hard to find (which is why I am giving 4 stars) but other than that it yields wonderful food. WahacaMexican Food at Home Wonderful!
Colourful.
Everything so far is super tasty. WahacaMexican Food at Home This is a really special book. I try to buy cookery books only by people from/who have lived in the country or region they're writing about. Miers lived in Mexico and clearly loves the food. This especially comes through in the little sections dotted throughout which provide information about Mexican foodstuffs such as the many varieties of chili and even cactus, which sounds delicious. Also included throughout are pronunciations of ingredients/dishes which is a wonderful idea. I really liked this as it felt like a mini cookery course was included.

I am vegan and find this book caters very well for my diet. In contrast with some books that foreground meat and dairy (e.g. any book with many recipes based around a hunk of roast meat) this is a book that focuses much on seasoning and veg, especially chili, herbs, tomatoes and avocado. Whereas you can't really substitute something easily for a centrepiece of roast lamb, this book makes substitution easy. That recipe for pulled pork tacos? Replace it with jackfuit or Linda McCartney vegan pulled pork/shredded duck (available in any moderate sized Sainsburys). Fish dishes can even be replicated with tofu (and if you're feeling adventurous, a bit of shredded seaweed) or you can leave the meat/fish out entirely, replacing it with beans of some kind. A recipe including feta? No problem, Sainsburys do a lovely dairy free feta made of coconut oil (they do other dairy free cheeses too, though that one is my favourite). The recipes are wonderful and unfussy (even if you do make substitutions) and make it easy to cook delicious, inventive Mexican food at home. It's a real winner. WahacaMexican Food at Home I bought this, and Thomasina Miers Mexican Food Made Simple and having spent hours comparing recipes (many of which are duplicated across both books), categorising difficulty and how likely I was to actually make the recipes that were unique to each book, and deciding which had the better font and colour scheme I concluded that I would have to keep both.

To assist you:
If you like large type that you can read from across a kitchen then Mexican Food Made Simple wins.

On the other hand, if you prefer a very comprehensive Index (that means you don't have to remember each obscure recipe title but can find things under categories as well as ingredients) then his book is better. (Consider both contain roughly the same number of recipes: this book has an 8 page index, the other has only 4 pages.)

(Or do as I did and find space for both.) WahacaMexican Food at Home I purchased the kindle version of this book, because I'm really interested in mexican and South/Central American cuisine. And the e book seemed like a good place to start.
The author's love and reverence for the cuisine shines out in her writing. It's hard not to feel her enthusiasm.
I am coming to the conclusion, though, that cookbooks are best enjoyed as paper copies, although e books are great for following recipes if you already know what you want to cook. For leisurely browsing through, and seeking inspiration though, tree books are supreme.
I did learn that much of authentic Mexican cuisine is not suitable for a halal diet, as almost every recipe contained lard, pork, copious quantities of alcohol, or all 3, lols.
It's OK, I can work around that mostly, and substitute, but it's something to be aware of I suppose.
This book teaches you that authentic Mexican food is so much better and diverse than old el paso meal kits. Don't get me wrong, they have their place too, but they are such poor, pale imitations of authentic, cooked from scratch Mexican food.
For those working with Asian chilli powders, its worth noting that Mexican chilli powders are far less spicy, and quantities will need to be adjusted downwards significantly if substituting.
There was advice and links given for purchasing authentic Mexican ingredients like masa harina, tomatillos and arbol chilli powder. WahacaMexican Food at Home
