Eat Mexico: Recipes from Mexico City's Streets, Markets and Fondas

Eat Mexico is a love letter to the intricate cuisine of Mexico City, written by a young journalist who lived and ate there for four years. It showcases food from the city’s streets: the football-shaped, bean-stuffed corn tlacoyo, topped with cactus and salsa; the tortas bulging with turkey confit and a peppery herb called pápalo; the beer-braised rabbit, slow-cooked until tender.

The book ends on a personal note, with a chapter highlighting the creative, Mexican-inspired dishes – such as roasted poblano oatmeal – that Lesley cooks at home in New York with ingredients she discovered in Mexico. Ambitious cooks and armchair travellers alike will enjoy Lesley’s Eat Mexico.
