More accurately I should say that it\u2019s a 600-page tome the size of a coffee table. Well, perhaps that\u2019s a bit of an exaggeration but it does have generous proportions and considerable heft. Mexico is huge!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mexico: A Culinary Quest introduces the reader to the real spirit of Mexican food, its history and taste. It demonstrates a range of modern cooking styles as well as traditional ones. There is a wealth of specially commissioned photographs of both people and their homes and workplaces. In fact, there are almost 900 gorgeous images by Adam Wiseman.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a recipe book but more a collection of chef\/cook profiles, putting local ingredients and dishes into a geographic context. It\u2019s a food-biased travelogue and a must-read for any food-lover who has ever visited Mexico or who plans to go. There are rustic views, verdant vistas, seascapes and vibrant dishes. This is an overview of the authentic Mexico: of colour, natural beauty and urban texture. It\u2019s a book of personal stories.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico: A Culinary Quest is gift quality and impressive. One could leaf through these pages for both culinary and photographic inspiration.
