Daily Tortilla: Authentic Mexican Cookbook

Daily Tortilla is a collection of authentic Mexican home recipes—salsas, moles, beans, tortillas, tamales, tacos al pastor, ceviche, aguas frescas, flan, and more—organized around the idea of the tortilla and other 'platforms' as delivery mechanisms. Chef Richard James emphasizes fresh ingredients, traditional techniques, and simple tools like the blender, comal, and pressure cooker. Warm, personal headnotes share memories from Mexico. Ideal for cooks who want to move beyond Tex-Mex and make everyday Mexican dishes at home.

• Learn the difference between authentic Mexican food and Tex-Mex from a chef who lived it

Perfect for a home cook who loves Mexican food and wants to make authentic, non-Tex-Mex dishes from scratch using traditional techniques.
