SIGNED: From My Mexican Kitchen (Diana Kennedy)

New York, Clarkson Potter, 2003. Hardcover. First Edition. 

Signed and inscribed to previous owner. 

In From My Mexican Kitchen, Diana Kennedy shifts from recipes to fundamentals, offering a detailed look at the tools, ingredients, and methods that form the heart of authentic Mexican cuisine. Unlike her earlier regional surveys, this book reads like a hands-on manual—teaching readers how to prepare masa, use traditional utensils, and work with indigenous ingredients through careful explanation and photographic guidance.

Diana Kennedy—often called the “Julia Child of Mexican cooking”—was a tireless documentarian of Mexico’s rich culinary traditions, and this book captures her commitment to preserving not just recipes, but entire ways of life.
