description: Join Rick Martnez on a once-in-a-lifetime culinary journey throughout Mxico that begins in Mexico City and continues through 32 states in 156 cities and across 20000 incredibly delicious miles. In Mi Cocina Rick shares deeply personal recipes as he re-creates the dishes and specialties he tasted throughout his journey. Inspired by his travels the recipes are based on his taste memories and experiences. True to his spirit and reflective of his deep connections with people and places these dishes will revitalize your pantry and transform your cooking repertoire.Highlighting the diversity richness and complexity of Mexican cuisine he includes recipes like herb and cheese meatballs bathed in a smoky spicy chipotle sauce from Oaxaca called Albndigas en Chipotle; northern Mxico's grilled Carne Asada that he stuffs into a grilled quesadilla for full-on cheesy-meaty food euphoria; and tender sweet corn tamales packed with succulent shrimp chiles and roasted tomatoes from Sinaloa on the west coast. Rick's poignant essays throughout lend context--both personal and cultural--to quilt together a story that is rich and beautiful touching and insightful.
