Thank the World for Mexican food! A fiesta of flavour, colour and texture. A place in the World that gave us so many of our everyday ingredients. And no other place in the World makes such magnificent use of them! I love Mexico, Mexicans and Mexican food - in any order - and here are just a few of my favourite dishes. I look forward to including some of my other favourites in the future - there are SO MANY!

From Mexico City to Baja California - Oaxaca to Guadalajara and everywhere in between, this country has so much to offer - a diverse selection of tastes and techniques, all truly rich in flavour and deeply rooted in culture and tradition. Of all the Mexicans I've met, all love their food and more importantly all LOVE to welcome you to their table to enjoy whatever delight they can concoct - it's one of my most favourite places on the planet and here are just a few of my favourite recipes I've picked up on my travels.
