Mexican Soul

A groundbreaking cookbook by globally renowned chef Santiago Lastra
that will allow any home cook from around the world to bring Mexican
flavour to their kitchens with local produce.

You don't need Mexican ingredients to cook great Mexican food - just
an open mind, a few simple tools and a little soul.

In Mexican Soul, chef Santiago Lastra reimagines Mexican cooking using
what's local, seasonal and already in your cupboard. From pistachio
guacamole to tortillas made with mashed potatoes, this book shows how
Mexican flavour can be unlocked anywhere in the world.

In the first pages, discover the foundations of Mexican cuisine using
traditional ingredients, organised by the flavours that define it - sour,
sweet, spicy, fat, smoky and masa together with traditional Mexican
recipes. You can then learn how to apply those principles creatively with
the ingredients you already have at home in the second section, cooking
Mexican food with freedom and confidence.

With more than 80 vibrant recipes and a philosophy rooted in creativity,
Mexican Soul is more than a cookbook - it's a new way to think about
what Mexican food really is.

Cook from it. Spill on it. Make it yours.
