A celebration of Mexican ingredients and traditions—plus 100 favorite recipes—from Eva Longoria.

While hosting Searching for Mexico on CNN, Eva Longoria reconnected with her Mexican roots and tasted iconic Mexican dishes like meat-stuffed Chiles en Nogada draped in a creamy walnut sauce and the Yucatán classic Pollo Asado, made with an aromatic garlic-citrus-achiote paste. In My Mexican Kitchen, she embraces the techniques and flavors she discovered and brings them home to her Southern California kitchen. From dishes based on long-heeded Aztec traditions like Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde to her Tia Elsa’s Pork and Red Chile Tamales and Conchas that remind her of Mexico City, each recipe offers a delicious tribute to Mexican food and flavors.

In addition to recipes for Enfrijoladas, White Pozole, Shrimp Aguachile, Cheesy Tacos de Fideo with Chorizo, and Butternut Squash with Coconut Oil and Cayenne, Eva dives into the backstory of many key Mexican ingredients from vanilla to agave. Alongside recipes that are masa-based like gorditas and sopes, she writes about the history of maiz and masa, nixtamalization, and the commercialization of corn, and she speaks to tequila production and traditions prior to showcasing not one but three recipes for margaritas.

Eva’s genuine love for cooking and culinary-related history along with her pride for her heritage shine on every page of this beautiful, meaningful, and delectable cookbook.

Acetaria (1699) was a book with many subjects: the rights and wrongs of vegetarianism; the virtues of eating more salads; cultivating the plants that made them memorable; and recipes for their use. It shows John Evelyn as more than arbiter of visual taste -- his central historical role -- but as one of England's first gastronomes. Acetaria exposes English cookery at a critical moment as it departed from medieval forms and embraced the new styles of France and Europe. Its arguments still have resonance and can be counted as revolutionary at the time they were first expressed.

From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen. For Stanley and foodie fans, this is the perfect, irresistible gift.

Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Written with Stanley's signature wry humour and nostalgia, Taste is a heartwarming read that will be irresistible for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

Elke hoofstuk is steeds gestruktureer rondom een van die vele feeste wat die Kaapse Maleiers gereeld vier, met resepte van die spesiale disse wat vir spesiale geleenthede berei word. 'Nerens op aarde is daar nog 'n gemeenskap wat so graag fees vier as die Kaapse Maleiers nie; nerens op ons planeet 'n groep mense so toegewyd in hul danksegging aan die Almagtige vir die seeninge van die tafel nie ...' skryf dr MC D'arcy in die voorwoord van hierdie titel. Kaap-Maleise kos is lank reeds gewild onder Suid-Afrikaners in alle kringe. Hierdie titel bevat resepte vir die ou gunstelinge, sowel as minder bekende, maar ewe smullekker disse wat tradisioneel op die tafels van die Kaapse Maleiers te vinde is. Cass Abrahams Kook Kaap-Maleis spog met heelwat nuwe resepte, onder andere tradisionele disse van ander groepe in ons multi-kulturele gemeenskap, wat stelselmatig deel geword het van die Kaap-Maleise kostradisie. Daar is uitgebreide opdienwenke buite die Kaap-Maleise kulturele konteks, en die asemrowende nuwe kosfoto's fokus op individuele borde kos, onweerstaanbaar aantreklike voorgesit, liewer as die oorvloed van die tradisionele Kaap-Maleise tafel wat so kenmerkend aan hulle feesviering is. Met hierdie nuwe benadering hoop Cass om die smullekker geregte waarvan die resepte al meer as 300 jaar van geslag tot geslag oorgedra word, van die gesinstafel tot in die beste restaurante te neem sodat almal wat ons pragtige land besoek die unieke geure en smake van Suid-Afrika se eeue-oue kostradisies kan geniet.

But the history of Palmetto State barbeque goes deeper than many might believe--it predates the rest of America.

Since the early 1920s, South Carolinians have been perfecting the craft and producing some of the best-tastin' 'que in the country. Join author and president of the South Carolina Barbeque Association Lake E. High Jr. as he traces the delectable history from its pre-colonial roots to a thriving modern-day tradition that fuels an endless debate over where to find the best plate.
