In "Food From My Heart", Martínez describes the connection between Mexico and food, between food and culture. Mexican cooking is itself the result of the collision of cultures; it brings together Old and New World ingredients—rice, onions, corriander, from the Old; corn, chiles, beans, tomatoes, from the New—and the culinary influences of its constantly shifting ethnic mosaic—the Mayans, Aztecs, Spanish, French, Germans, Chinese.Martínez has drawn upon these influences, of friends and family, of traditional foods of many regions of Mexico, to create her own personal style of cooking, one that is imaginative and highly flavorful, easy to prepare, and evocative of the classic Mexican cooking upon which it is based. It is all brought together—the traditional and new—in the form of memoir, stories, and more than 175 recipes to create this singular cookbook.Now celebrating it's 20th anniversary.
