Mexicocina by Melba Levick and Betty McNair
Photographer Melba Levick captures the bright colours and bold shapes of the kitchens of Mexico, this time touring private historic homes, resorts, and cooking schools. Here, priceless collections of indigenous pottery sit side-by-side with sleek appliances, Frida Kahlo’s wooden spoons are right where she left them, and San Pasqual Bailón, the patron saint of cooks and kitchens, blesses every last handmade copper kettle, Talavera tile, and neon sign. Mexicocina tantalises more than just the eyes, featuring mouthwatering recipes for innovative Mexican dishes at the end of each chapter. Inspiration abounds in these Mexican kitchens, whether you are making travel reservations, or just dreaming of the scent of café de ollas.
