I need real mexican recipes, not all this other americanized stuff. ?

Question

I need real mexican recipes, not all this other americanized stuff. Is there a website where i can find any REAL mexican food recipes? NOT ALL THESE AMERICANIZED DISHES that just taste like taco bell and, that dont even taste like REAL mexican food. Or can any MEXICANS give me some good recipes? Like how to make pasole, or rice, or soups or anything?? my husband is 100 % mex, and i want to impress him.

Answer 1

good ? im in the same boat.  we've been married for 7 years.  how i learned to cook the real deal is by taking my hubby shopping and having him help me cook the dishes.  also, from my sister in laws helping me.  further, by going to mexico and cooking/learning with my mother-in-law.

you must know that many dishes like mole,rice,salsa,etc. are cooked differently depending on which area of mexico ur man(anyone) is from.

the best thing you can do easily is start studying up on chiles (peppers) and salsas, what goes with what.  even if you botch a dish or cut of meat, a good authetic salsa will fix 'em up.

Answer 7

Rick Bayless is an American living in the Yucatan and he is basically the current Mexican Food guru on public TV.

I've watched his show a few times and his stuff is pretty authentic. I live in the Southwest in a largely Mexican neighborhood, so I am exposed to traditional Mexican dishes on a regular basis and can cook a few. Bayless catches those flavours in his dishes.

A few tips. Use fresh chilies where you can and roast them before using them in various cooked chili salsas. Roasting chilies brings out the natural flavours and sugars in chilies.

Answer 8

The library is a great place to get ethnic cook books.

Also, I have the Mexican cook book put out by Sunset, and it's actually pretty good.
