For all the care and attention that Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have brought to the art of cooking quality Mexican food at home, there are still an awful lot of folks who think Mexican food is synonymous with platter loads of red sauce and melted cheddar cheese. When it comes to good home cooked food the balance of proteins and grains and vegi's a good thing. When we go out to dine we sometimes throw that good sense by the wayside. It is one thing to go out in town to your favorite Mexican eatery and come away feeling good because you know you ate a healthy, well balanced meal, but it's another thing entirely to come home feeling bloated and listless from a meal too heavily ladden with fats, sugars and processed carbs.
Don't let Cinco de Mayo be another excuse to eat heavy Mexican chow. The revolution begins at home. Try pulling together some tasty and somewhat healthy Mexican food at home for a change.
What's lovely about the post below is that it's so colorful and engaging. Cookbooks should be, almost demand to be theseday. Of course, some of the finest cookbooks in the world come without photos, think Joy of Cooking, but some of the best being produced today come with absolutely gorgeous photospreads that almost demand, from the moment you open the front cover, that you get into the kitchen immediately and prepare a sumptous feast.
It's rare that a weekly newspaper runs a recipe article this long and this pretty, but it's really worth the bother of scrolling through all the snapshots and adding a few of those recipes to your recipe box. Cinco de Mayo is a fun holiday to be out and about in, but when it comes to eating so many of those tasty antijitos can be made at home with far more care and style than you would find in a busy eatery on the night of the big celebration. Give one or more of them a try! You'll be delighted you did, and so will your heart! Salud!
