The book focuses on regional Mexican food rather than Tex-Mex staples. Kennedy documents home cooking, local ingredients, masa-based dishes, chiles, salsas, and preparations gathered through travel across Mexico.
When was My Mexico published?
My Mexico was first published by Clarkson Potter in 1998. The University of Texas Press later reissued it in the 2010s.
Is My Mexico a beginner cookbook or more of a reference book?
It can be used by home cooks, but it reads more like a serious culinary travel reference than a quick weeknight cookbook. Readers who like Diana Kennedy's The Cuisines of Mexico will recognize the same detailed, regional approach.
