Mexican food has garnered praise around the world, and we're still discovering the vast richness of regional foods from the desert, highland, rainforest and coastal areas – as well as recreating dishes from the Maya, Inca, and Aztec past. Chocolate and vanilla, chillis of all kinds, guava, key lime, tequila, and prickly pear join the "three sisters" of ancient agriculture – corn, squash, and beans – for a diverse and exciting cuisine. Mexican food showcases fresh and fascinating flavours for weeknight meals as well as sophisticated weekend entertaining. 365 Mexican Dishes offers something for everyone, from appetisers and snacks to savoury stews, fabulous fajitas, delicious casseroles, savoury sauces, grilled dishes, main dish sandwiches and salads, and big platter foods for entertaining. What's even better, you can customise each dish according to the way you and your family like to eat. Vary the ingredients with the season, your budget, what you already have on hand, or your taste and health preferences.
With 365 irresistible recipes, you'll have recipes for both family favourites and gourmet dishes. And with several variations for each dish, including vegetarian, you're sure to find the right recipe for the right occasion every time. In 365 Mexican Dishes, you'll find:
• Recipes that capture the authentic flavours of Mexican food, and combinations that reflect the geographic diversity of Mexico.
• Recipes for basic Mexican foods that you will use throughout the book: flour and soft corn tortillas, pico de gallo, various fresh and cooked salsas, slow-simmered beans, and more.
• Fresh, seasonal ingredients as well as pantry staples.

We have assembled Old World recipes, New World recipes and an exotic mix of tropical and Eastern receipes for you to try. This is not a slimming cookbook, that's for sure, but remember that everything in moderation leads to a happy as well as healthy existence. So while you should not be reaching for this cookbook on a daily basis, this is nothing wrong with the occassional tasty indulgence. This book includes elegant single-serve receipes among the larger classic chessecakes, which makes it easier to divide or multiply these recipes to make as many or as few as you like. Individual cheesecakes make for a great visual display if you are having a dinner party, and they also pack well for picnics and lunches. But we have not forgotten the traditionalists, who will find large, family style cheescakes ready to crown a table display and turn heads.
