Tequila!

Mehr zum Buch

"¡Tequila! The Spirit of Mexico in a bottle! Its flavor is as melodic to the mouth as a mariachi tune is to the ear, and Lucinda Hutson captures that spirit with more than 150 festive food and drink recipes, peppered throughout with fabulous folk art, historical facts about tequila production, and colorful personal anecdotes. Inspired by her life-long fascination with all things Mexican and based on years of tireless research, this book is not just a great source for cooking and entertaining, it's also a compendium of tequila information : its cultural history and origins, how it is made, who makes it, and who makes it best. Filled with fiesta fare extraordinaire, '¡Tequila!' goes far beyond the familiar margarita! As a gift -- or a sensuous treat -- try making the heady, fruit infused liqueur known as Para Mi Amante (For My Lover), or wow a party with a knockout Piñata Punch. Dazzle dinner guests with Gazpacho Macho, Drunken Cowgirl Beans or Queso Flameado (a melted cheese dish flambéed with tequila), and create a fabulous finale with Jalapeño Carrot Cake or an elegant Citrus Flan. An armchair tour of Mexico's kitchens and cantinas, this book is sure to satisfy any appetite (and yes, there are margarita recipes -- more than a dozen of them, from classic to kiwi)."--
