Need help planning a Mexican party? I'll be including menu planning ideas for all kinds of occasions from casual backyard gatherings to fancy holiday celebrations, along with the perfect recipes.

Do you want to learn more about Mexican food - its history, and regional differences? Many of my articles include information on the region, background, and history of the food. What's the difference between Oaxacan and Sonoran food? Can you really eat cactus?

Want some quick and easy meal ideas? Mexican food offers lots of great solutions with simple home-based techniques and relatively easy to find ingredients like tomatoes, onions, limes, and chile peppers. Mexican food is budget friendly too - think corn, rice, beans, and inexpensive cuts of meat - perfect for these economic times.

This site is all about making Mexican food and cooking accessible to the non-Mexican home cook. So, I will work to keep the recipes simple, quick, and easy and provide advice on where to find any specialty ingredients, tools, and equipment you might be interested in. Since I love cookbooks, I will also be sure to share reviews of all my favorites with you too.
