Taco Tales: Recipes and Stories from Mexico

Born into a strong tradition of passing down recipes from generation to generation, Ivette Perez de Wenkel’s new cookbook seamlessly blends Mexican cuisine with the culture and experiences from which she learned them. In Taco Tales, she presents more than 40 recipes from her family treasury, along with the history and traditions that make each dish much more than just food. Collage and papercut illustrations by Anne Wenkel bring the pages to colourful life, and the interplay of text and illustrations evokes the tradition of communal cooking and making that has so strongly influenced the authors.
