Description
Lily Ramirez-Foran has spent years sharing how fun, vibrant and convivial Mexican food is and how easy it is to make at home, and what better way to do that than with tacos? These are the authentic flavours of Mexico, from real corn tortillas to smoky chillies, matched with the best of Irish produce. There is something for everyone here, whether you're a carnivore, vegetarian or vegan. Your taco night is about to get taken up a level.

"This is the simple, undeniable state of affairs right now: I have fallen in love with Lily Ramirez-Foran's beautiful little book, Tacos, and I can't wait for you to as well! It's a real shout-it-from-the-rooftops moment. Yes, it's a recipe book, but - though it be but little - there is so much more to it than that. In these 60-something pages, you learn about context and place, history and (without wishing to sound pretentious) the philosophy of the taco. And this is conveyed with such wit and buoyant enthusiasm it's just impossible not to be swept up by it. And the recipes in it - not photographed but accompanied by charming illustrations by Nicky Hooper - are irresistible. I just urge you to get this invaluable, gorgeous book. Congratulations to Lily Ramirez-Foran and to Blasta Books, whose first publication this also is." - Nigella Lawson
