The Bajío's Bounty: Authentic Mexican Cookbook

Book Information

Packed with traditional Mexican recipes for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, the Bajio's Bounty authentic Mexican cookbook is sure to offer a new favorite Mexican recipe for you and your family. Authored by a "gringa" who married into a farming family big on traditional Mexican food in Querétaro, Mexico; the book was written and tested with American tastes and cooking experiences in mind, but with the unique tips about authentic Mexican food that only an insider can provide. If you thought vegetarian Mexican cooking meant beans and rice, you are in for a treat. Low(er) fat, meat-free and poultry-based versions of popular traditional Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, chile relleno, tamales, mole, pastel tres leches, are included. From the state where the mesquites and cacti rule, you will discover traditional Mexican recipes for local favorites you may have never tried before, or have only seen in authentic Mexican restaurants. They have colorful names such as the Paloma, Michelada, Nopales, Chilaquiles, Posole, and Tinga. As if these weren't enough, you will also find several Mexican fusion recipes that combine the best of Mexican with other world flavors.

About the Author
Nicole Salgado, born to parents of Mexican and European ancestry, grew up in Central New York.  Growing up, during travels, and while living in the Bay Area, she was exposed to authentic Mexican cooking via friends and family members.  Since 2006, she has lived in her husband’s home state of Querétaro, Central Mexico where she’s become part of an extended Queretaran family.  There she was introduced to traditional methods for cultivating and utilizing maize, as well as many other popular Mexican foods.  In an effort to combine their passion for good food with environmental health, she and her husband cultivate an organic home garden and small animal production among other sustainable practices.  This book is a collection of authentic recipes from the Querétaro and the surrounding region and is dedicated to the Mexican women carrying out their ancient traditions worldwide.
