While most Mexico guides devote a section to eating, authors Joan and David Peterson see food as an integral part of the journey, the very basis of travel, and their new guide “Eat Smart in Mexico” (1998, Ginkgo Press, $12.95) reflects that sensibility.
Individual chapters cover such topics as the history of the country’s cuisine, regional foods, how to shop in the local markets, mail-order sources for suppliers of ingredients, and a collection of recipes for typical dishes found in that country.
Otherwise, the authors include an informative and extensive history of the cuisine; a second on regional foods; a less successful section of a few recipes; a very brief chapter on shopping in Mexican food markets; another on mail order suppliers, cooking schools, and organizations; and a handy guide to helpful phrases.
