Offers authentic recipes from every region of the Mexican Republic. Adapted for use in the United States, Central and South America. Author (1899-1968) "was a Mexican cook, researcher, writer and teacher. She was a pioneer of Mexican gastronomy and an entrepreneur of Mexican cuisine." - Wikipedia. "Before Rick Bayless, before Diana Kennedy, Josefina Velázquez de León was the sage of the Mexican kitchen, Mexico's original celebrity chef." - Lesley Tellez. "Between the 1930s and 1960s she published over 140 cookbooks, ran a cooking academy, and hosted TV and radio shows. She is the woman responsible for giving a national face to regional Mexican cuisine." - laplazala on Instagram. "Her most important book is her only bilingual work, the 'Mexican Cook Book Devoted to American Homes', published in 1947. Decades later, it remains a classic. In a clear, approachable tone, Josefina breaks down iconic recipes such as tomato-infused Mexican rice, refried beans, chilaquiles, and mole poblano. She traveled throughout Mexico and collected home cooks' recipes into books, unifying what was then a disparate collection of locally known dishes. No one has matched her output and zeal, or done more to shape Mexican food's culinary identity." - Lesley Tellez. Our research suggests this example is a slightly renamed second edition of the 1947 first edition mentioned above. [10]-320 pp. Detailed Table of Contents at back. Light wear to original dark cerulean cloth lettered and ruled in gilt. Binding intact. Contents uniformly tanned with age, remarkably clean and unmarked. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A rare and wonderfully preserved example of this Mexican epicurean classic. 19.6 x 14.5 cm. Axford p. 269. ; Drawings; 8vo. …
