A celebration of Mexican ingredients and traditions—plus 100 favorite recipes—from Eva Longoria
While hosting Searching for Mexico on CNN, Eva Longoria reconnected with her Mexican roots and tasted iconic Mexican dishes like meat-stuffed Chiles en Nogada draped in a creamy walnut sauce and the Yucatán classic Pollo Asado, made with an aromatic garlic-citrus-achiote paste. In My Mexican Kitchen, she embraces the techniques and flavors she discovered and brings them home to her Southern California kitchen. From dishes based on long-heeded Aztec traditions like Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde to her Tia Elsa’s Pork and Red Chile Tamales and Conchas that remind her of Mexico City, each recipe offers a delicious tribute to Mexican food and flavors. 
 
In addition to recipes for Enfrijoladas, White Pozole, Shrimp Aguachile, Cheesy Tacos de Fideo with Chorizo, and Butternut Squash with Coconut Oil and Cayenne, Eva dives into the backstory of many key Mexican ingredients from vanilla to agave. Alongside recipes that are masa-based like gorditas and sopes, she writes about the history of maiz and masa, nixtamalization, and the commercialization of corn, and she speaks to tequila production and traditions prior to showcasing not one but three recipes for margaritas. 
 
Eva’s genuine love for cooking and culinary-related history along with her pride for her heritage shine on every page of this beautiful, meaningful, and delectable cookbook.

      Actor Longoria eans into her heritage, her love of cooking, and her experiences on her CNN travel and food show Searching for Mexico to create her latest cookbook (after Eva's Kitchen). The recipes are a combination of her tried-and-true family dishes and new techniques and flavors she picked up on her travels. The robust breakfast chapter will be an immediate favorite, as will the mains, with their Sunday feast potential. The layout is clean and easy to read and evokes papel picado with its bright colors and cutwork details. Matt Armendariz's mouthwatering photography showcases the dishes wonderfully and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Longoria flexes her culinary knowledge (derived from her podcast Hungry for History) with full-page interludes covering the origins of Mexican ingredients and techniques. If readers are skeptical that this is just another Hollywood celebrity cookbook, they will quickly be surprised by Longoria's culinary knowledge, delicious recipes, and passion in the kitchen. VERDICT Melding her heritage, her enthusiasm for history and food, and her travels, Longoria has created a rich collection of Mexican recipes that will make readers think of her as a chef first and actor second.--Sarah Tansley
