Mexican food is reborn in New York. From tacos to fine dining, Mexican food isn’t just cheap street food any more. Many Mexican chefs have helped to elevate the standards of their national cuisine in New York, and Chef Roberto Santibanez of Fonda is one of them.
In his new cookbook, Truly Mexican, Chef Santibanez teaches us what true Mexican food is about by breaking down the cuisine into classic Mexican sauces as building blocks to create great meals. Delicious salsas, guacamoles, adobos, moles, and pipianes create those amazing enchiladas, tacquitos and more. The book teaches common techniques that the home cook can develop into dozens of dishes. Chef Santibanez is a true teacher: I am not just learning how to make one dish, but the basis for many!
