Our First Cookbook with your favorite Mexican dishes!
The Mexican Home Kitchen Cookbook
After almost 12 years of sharing authentic Mexican recipes with the world through this website, I am very excited to introduce my first cookbook, The Mexican Home Kitchen!
This has been a long wait for many of my readers, who throughout the years have repeatedly asked me when they would be able to see my recipes in print. I appreciate all of your kind support and patience, and I poured my heart into this book because of it.
Types of Mexican recipes
With over 85 recipes ranging from salads, soups, main dishes, desserts, and even drinks, this book represents authentic home cooking as it’s found in Mexican homes. This is the type of cooking made by Mexican mothers and grandmothers, and I hope that many Mexicans living abroad can use this cookbook to reunite with their favorite childhood dishes.

Traditional classic Mexican recipes
I’ve made sure to pack this cookbook with many of the classic dishes that come to mind when you think of traditional Mexican food, like Tamales, Enchiladas, Arroz Rojo, and Albondigas. To accompany all these meals, I’ve included recipes for all the Mexican basics, like tortillas, salsas, beans, and rice. I’ve also written a section dedicated to the Mexican Pantry, where readers can learn about all the vegetables, peppers, herbs, and other ingredients found in the pantries of Mexican homes and used to make the recipes in this book.
All of the recipes are written with easy-to-follow instructions and tips, and most of them include pictures, too. I wanted these recipes to be enjoyed by cooks of all skill levels, from beginners to experts. I hope you love the recipes in this book and share them with friends, family, and the next generations.
The Mexican Home Kitchen will be released on September 15, 2020, and is now available to pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Books a Million, and other retailers in the USA. In Canada, you can find it at Amazon Canada and !ndigo. Once you receive your book, I would appreciate it if you left a review on Amazon. Reviews are the best way to show your support, and help others see if this book is right for them.

hi. i was making your frijoles de olla and was wondering if you peel your onion and garlic when u put it in the pot to boil
Mely Martínez
Hello Jill,
Yes, I do peel the onion & garlic. However, most of the time, they are removed after the beans are cooked. Some cooks do not peel the garlic.

Hello & good afternoon! I have a question, hope you can help me. We live in Cuernavaca, Morelos & want to purchase beef to prepare a pot roast but have no idea what it's called in Spanish or what type of cut to ask at the carnaceria. Can you help me please? Thank you in advance! Love your website. ❤️
Mely Martínez
Hello Debra,
You can ask for "Chamberete" which is Beef Shank. There is also a cut of meat known as "Carne con Hueso" which is meat with the bone to make strew.
