It is from the US border states, rather than directly from Mexico, that we get our inspiration for this book. Such as from Texas – with its robust Tex-Mex food inspired by both their southern neighbor and by cowboy culture with its beans, cheesy enchiladas and smoky BBQ. Or New Mexico – with its smoky, luxurious and more authentic Mexican cuisine, and California – with its well-prepared Mex food, so-called fresh Mex. Often made with fish and shellfish, and always without using any semi-manufactured products, of course.
The tastes of Tex-Mex cooking are well-known and much loved – despite that, most people don’t know how simple and tasty it is to prepare the food yourself, from scratch.
