Tacos
Tacos: Recipes and Provocations | Alex Stupak, Jordana Rothman
9 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Superstar chef Alex Stupak's love of real Mexican food changed his life; it caused him to quit the world of fine-dining pastry and open the smash-hit Empelln Taqueria in New York City. Now he'll change the way you make--and think about--tacos forever. TACOS is a deep dive into the art and craft of one of Mexico's greatest culinary exports. We start by making fresh tortillas from corn and flour, and variations that look to innovative grains and flavor infusions. Next we master salsas, from simple chopped condiments to complex moles that simmer for hours and have flavor for days. Finally we explore fillings, both traditional and modern--from a pineapple-topped pork al pastor to pastrami with mustard seeds. But TACOS is more than a collection of beautiful things to cook. Wrapped up within it is an argument: Through these recipes, essays, and sumptuous photographs by Evan Sung, the 3-Michelin-star veteran makes the case that Mexican food should be as esteemed as the highest French cooking. From the Hardcover edition.

I'm trying to record more life things -

My friend Eva started a taco truck and it has taken *off*. I helped her with her IG and FB pages, then did a basic menu for her. Her tacos de carnitas are amazing and this salsa is divine, not too spicy.

There's also a new owner at the Menno/Mexican store in town and she's bringing in all manner of deliciousness like Jarritos, masa harina and corn leaves, Tia Larin bars.... 🤤

jessjess Despite all this delicious food - my SIL keeps trying me to test her mini cheesecakes - I'm still getting out and walking. My Fitbit died when I fell, so I don't have a step count, but I can report an energy increase, a lift in mood, and a decrease in lbs which are all making me feel pretty happy. 2y

1) I haven't checked yet, but I will probably sign up this summer.
2) I look at certain bookish Twitter accounts frequently: kirkus, bookshelf credibility, Stephen King.
3) An extra day for reading!
4) I love tacos all year, but especially in the summer. I made my citrus lemon lime chicken tacos just last weekend. With margaritas 😋

#TBRtemptation post! Who here is hungry right now 😋? The lunch hour is just begun here on the East Coast. Maaay I tantalize you with some tacos? Everyone likes tacos, right? Better yet, why not stop by your local bookstore and demand a copy of this fine book to purchase and provide a new kitchen for it to live. You know you wanna 😁🙌🏻! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
