- Synopsis
- In this travelogue/cookbook, the James Beard Award-winning author of Yucatán takes you on a tour of Mexico&’s most colorful destinations—its markets. David Sterling&’s passion for Mexican food has attracted followers from around the globe. Just as Yucatán earned him praise for his &“meticulously researched knowledge&” (Saveur) and for producing &“a labor of love that well documents place, people and, yes, food&” (Booklist), Mercados now invites readers to learn about local ingredients, meet vendors and cooks, and taste dishes that reflect Mexico&’s distinctive regional cuisine. Serving up more than one hundred recipes, Mercados presents unique versions of Oaxaca&’s legendary moles and Michoacan&’s carnitas, as well as little-known specialties such as the charcuterie of Chiapas, the wild anise of Pátzcuaro, and the seafood soups of Veracruz. Sumptuous color photographs transport us to the enormous forty-acre, 10,000-merchant Central de Abastos in Oaxaca as well as tiny tianguises in Tabasco. Blending immersive research and passionate appreciation, David Sterling&’s final opus is at once a must-have cookbook and a literary feast for the gastronome. &“The 560 thick, glossy pages of [Mercados] are such a riot of color and photography, the first time I picked up the book, I didn&’t pause to read a word of it. It took a second pass through David Sterling&’s gorgeous travelogue to absorb that it is equally rich in information—not so much a cookbook as a treatise on the food and culture of Mexico as told through its vibrant markets.&” –Dallas Morning News &“Reflects a lifetime of traveling to markets throughout Mexico to document the diverse foodways of the country.&” –Austin360
