Product Description

Review

Masterchef winner Thomasina Miers has produced another winner... wonderfully fresh tasting recipes dispel the illusion that Mexican cooking is just refried beans, mince and guacamole. (Daily Express)

We've waited two years for Thomasina Miers' follow-up to her cookbook Mexican Food Made Simple, but thankfully it was well worth the wait. Wahaca - Mexican Food At Home is a vividly bright and mouth-watering selection of Mexican-inspired recipes, developed from Thomasina's extensive travels across the country. (Stylist)

If you love proper Mexican food, the recipes will hit the spot - and if you haven't tried it yet, you'll soon be a convert to la vida Mexicana (Delicious)

Just reading the introduction to Wahaca is enough to inspire even the most unadventurous of cooks... colour bursts from the pages - mouth-watering photography gives way to easy to follow diagrams for burritos, taquitos and tacos. (Country Life)

Quite apart from having opened up a cocktail bar in Mexico City and won Masterchef in 2005, Miers is the moving force behind the street food chain Wahaca. Her cookbook proves that Mexican food can be a matter of subtle flavours and zinging colours. (Telegraph)

There's lots of good stuff, including a generous breakfast section, a guide to chillies and lots of little essays conjuring the magic of a Mexican food market. (Metro)

About the Author

Thomasina Miers first arrived in Mexico aged 18, and the country and its food had such an impact that she went back to live there. She opened up a cocktail bar in Mexico City and used her free time to travel the country and cook with some of Mexico's top chefs. After returning to London and winning BBC2's MasterChef in 2005, Thomasina worked for six months with Skye Gyngell at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. Thomasina and Mark Selby soon opened their first Mexican street food cantina, Wahaca, which promptly won the Observer Food Monthly's 'best cheap eats' award. Wahaca has since been included in the Cool Brands list, and was voted London's best Mexican. Wahaca has now has sites across the south-east of Britain, including Covent Garden, Soho, Bluewater, Canary Wharf, White City and Stratford. Thomasina is the co-editor of Soup Kitchen and the author of Cook, Wild Gourmets and Mexican Food Made Simple. She lives in London with her husband and daughter.

3.0 out of 5 stars First book was better 27 Sep 2012
By Rob
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good book with lots of recipes, but I prefer her first.Mexican Food Made Simple

Although there are new recipes, alot are repeated in this. What was sadly missing from the first book was the pork pibil recipe which is included in this one. If you have the first book I would not recommend purchasing this, if you don't have the first book I would recommend you buy it over this one. There are great recipes with a better layout in the first and the missing pork pibil book can be found here: [...]

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners 26 Nov 2012
By Katucke500
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a big fan of Wahaca and was really exciting when this book was released. I would say its definitely not for beginners. The very simple and straightforward ice cream recipe was a complete disaster with no helpful instructions at all. Took us a long time and went rock hard - took 3 hours out of the freezer before we could even get a spoon into it. The recipes for Guacamole and Fresh Salsa were great as was the steak and cheese tacos. Though with the guacamole recipe she lists a lot of ingredients and then doesn't say when or how they are incorporated into the dish.

It seemed like a great idea to cook lots of these dishes for a dinner party however everything in the book is set up to be cooked fresh with no hints on how to prep beforehand. meant a very stressful two hours before my friends arrived.

I think this could be improved with links to online tutorials for some of the recipes she suggests.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book but not for the every man 11 Sep 2012
By Kirstyyyyy
Format:Hardcover
This is a really lovely book with great pictures but there's not a single recipe without a hard to find ingredient and there are no suggested substitutes. This is either for the Mexican enthusiast who buys his specialist chillies online or a nice decorative ornament for the shelf.
