Mexican Culinary Treasures, published by Hippocrene Books in New York, provides deep insight into modern-day Mexican cooking and the history behind it. The recipes featured range from the very traditional to the modern cuisine of cosmopolitan Mexico City. Maria Elena's recipes include the earthy flavours of the beef and cheese tacos sold by vendors on the busy street corners and the celebratory tamales, as well as more sophisticated dishes such as tender pieces of chicken simmered in a sauce of red wine and prunes. The nouvelle cuisine includes recipes such as crepes filled with cuitlacoche and/ or zucchini blossoms, oysters with chipotle chile, etc. This is a book for a knowledgeable and enthusiastic cook, which does not necessarily mean that it is beyond the reach of the novice or casual cook. It does mean however, that the serious and more adventurous cook will not be disappointed. The beautiful cookbook Savoring Mexico published by Williams – Sonoma in California, also published a recipe from Mexican Culinary Treasures called Gallina Rellena Estilo Zacatecas (Stuffed Chicken, Zacatecas Style), one of the most cherished recipes that came from MariaElena’s grandmother.
