The Aztec's were one of the worlds great civilizations. After the conquest of Mexico they were largely wiped out. But some of their descendants and their language Nahuatl still exist.
This guide to Aztec Cuisine attempts to introduce the wider world to Aztec cooking and hopefully to encourage readers to adopt or experiment with some of their ingredients or recipes.
Aztec cuisine lists all of the major ingredients in Aztec cooking and includes colour illustrations. Some ingredients are now known globally, whilst others remain secretive outside of Nahuatl and Mexican culture.
The author, Nicky Stuart Verra, has long been interested in all aspects of Aztec Culture. This is his second book on this great but sometimes overlooked civilisation. His first is The Emperors of the Aztec Empire.
