Synopsis

Provecho is the book for anyone who wants to understand, cook and eat what is so elusive outside of Mexico: authentic Mexican food.

It's a fun and accessible hardback guide by Daniella Guevara Muñoz, who grew up in Mexico City and now runs Port Adelaide's La Popular Taqueria – and who has the authority and insight to tell the story of this rich and ancient food culture just right. Daniella delivers 120 recipes you'll find in Mexico's taquerías, street carts and homes, along with cookware insights, an essential pantry list and substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients, making it easy for any home cook to connect with real Mexican food with confidence.

About the author

Daniella Guevara Muñoz

Daniella is a Mexican cook who grew up in the Iztapalapa borough of Mexico City. A marine biologist, she worked as the director of Puerto Morelos Marine Park on the Yucatan Peninsula before her 2012 move to Adelaide (with her academic husband Kor-jent van Dijk) sparked a delicious career change. In Adelaide, Daniella's passions for community, food and Mexico could shine, and her and Kor's underground dinner series, Mi Mero Mole, enjoyed a cult following before their traditional taqueria, Port Adelaide's La Popular Taqueria, opened in 2017. La Popular Taqueria is now one of Australia's most acclaimed Mexican restaurants, while Daniella is increasingly sought after at festivals and in the media (SBS, The Guardian and Broadsheet) for her expertise and knowledge.
