by Mariana Nuño Ruiz and Ian McEnroe.
"The souls of Mexico are always hungry. At one time, Aztecs prepared masa dough from corn which fed the creation of an empire. Today, chefs continue to use masa as the backbone of a cuisine that feeds the living and honors the dead."
One of the most beautiful cookbooks we've come across in a long time, the authors also share stories, history, and crafts centered around this traditional holiday, which has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Nuño Ruiz and McEnroe spent learned traditional recipes and traditions from the Cocineras Tradicionales (Traditional Cooks of Michoacán) and present both historical and current celebrations, foods and crafts.
