Overview
You don’t need Mexican ingredients to cook great Mexican food – just an open mind, a few simple tools and a little soul.
In Mexican Soul, chef Santiago Lastra reimagines Mexican cooking using what’s local, seasonal and already in your cupboard. From pistachio guacamole to tortillas made with mashed potatoes, this book shows how Mexican flavour can be unlocked anywhere in the world.
In the first pages, discover the foundations of Mexican cuisine using traditional ingredients, organised by the flavours that define it – sour, sweet, spicy, fat, smoky and masa together with traditional Mexican recipes. You can then learn how to apply those principles creatively with the ingredients you already have at home in the second section, cooking Mexican food with freedom and confidence.
With more than 80 vibrant recipes and a philosophy rooted in creativity, Mexican Soul is more than a cookbook – it’s a new way to think about what Mexican food really is.
Cook from it. Spill on it. Make it yours.
