Providing food for the brain as well as the body, this wonderful
collection of essays explores the boundaries between Mexican and
Mexican-American foods, promotes philosophical understandings of
Mexican-American cuisine, and shares recipes from both past and
present. Defining Mexican-American food is difficult due to its
incredibly diverse roots and traditions. This unique style of
cuisine varies significantly from Mexican and Latin American
cuisines, fusing Native American and Hispanic influences stemming
from three centuries of first Spanish and later Mexican rule. In
Mexican-American Cuisine, renowned authority in Latino culture Ilan
Stavans and 10 other experts in southwestern cuisine explore the
food itself and associated traditions. The book presents nine
scholarly essays that examine philosophical understandings of
Mexican-American cuisine. Covering both platillos principales (main
dishes) and postres (desserts), the authors serve up a sideboard of
anthropological, ethnographic, sociological, and culinary
observations. Essay topics include the boundaries between Mexican
and Mexican-American food, the history and uses of the chile, and
the derivations of Mexican cuisine. Readers are also treated to
recipes and recommendations by 19th-century California chef
Encarnacion Pinedo who explores "The Art of Cooking." An
introduction by Ilan Stavans Contributed essays from nine
outstanding writers Recipes from both past and present A selected
