We are pleased to share a promotion for our next EYBD Book, La Boca Loca: Mexican Cooking for New Zealanders by Lucas Putnam and Marianne Elliot today on its publication day. 

 

Acclaimed Wellington restaurant La Boca Loca is one of New Zealand’s best Mexican taquerias. Owners Lucas Putnam and Marianne Elliott have always had a clear goal of presenting the freshest flavours of Mexico using the finest, locally available ingredients, which is also the philosophy behind this cookbook.

La Boca Loca gathers together the most popular dishes from the restaurant into one colourful, tasty, revised collection. The book is an excellent guide to the essentials of a Mexican pantry and where to source ingredients in New Zealand but ingredients that are easily accessible in other areas of the world. 

Learn the basics of Mexican cooking, ensuring confidence in handling chillies, preparing masa, pressing tortillas and making fresh and cooked salsas. Then enjoy cooking these easy-step recipes that form the heart of this collection.

This is the essential cookbook for anyone interested in authentic and delicious Mexican food that begins with the basics such as sauces and staples and ends in decadant desserts.

    I'd love to try the arbol chilli sauce – I bought some arbol chillis from La Boca Loca a while ago and love them. After travelling to Mexico a few years ago and finding the food to be AMAZING it is great to see a cookbook with authentic Mexican recipes, but with ingredients that can be sourced in NZ 🙂
