The 50+ recipes in this collection run the gamut from super-spicy to warm and vibrant. Calling upon the classics of Latin cuisine, Ortiz explains the basic techniques necessary to turn out authentic Mexican dishes. She then branches into experimental flavors, utilizing recipes that call upon seasonal, fresh foods. The collection includes a variety of both vegetarian and meat-focused recipes, including classic seviche, crispy salt-cod in chili sauce, crunchy chayote salad, poblano mole, spicy pumpkin seed sauce, and a classic meatballs recipe with one unexpected addition.
