Did you know you can make the best guacamole you’ve ever tasted without using avocado? Or that tortillas and tamales can be made with potato?

Through years of research, exploration and cooking in restaurants around the globe, chef Santiago Lastra has discovered a secret: you can make incredible Mexican food without having to hunt down specific ingredients or buy traditional produce that has lost its freshness by the time it lands in your kitchen. Mexican flavor can be unlocked anywhere in the world, with almost any ingredient, and this book is the key to finding it.

By breaking down the basics of Mexican flavour profiles then exploring how you can find a wide variety of these elements in your home kitchen, Santiago shows a new way of understanding one of the richest cuisines on the planet so that anything from a Salsa Macha and Tomato and Cherry Aguachile to Tinga Tostadas and Chocolate Tamales with Chocolate and Mezcal Cream can be on the table in minutes, regardless of what you have to hand.
