In this beautiful book, Street Food of Mexico, Chef Ortega returns to the roots of his inspirations that led him to create the incredible food that he does today. He shows the same refined elegance in his writing as he does in his restaurants and I am truly inspired by not only his restaurant, Hugo's, but also by the man behind it. His words and his recipes make me want to take the next plane to Mexico! - JOHN BESH, CHEF, RESTAURATEUR & COOKBOOK AUTHOR Whether it depicts fresh fish being grilled on the beach, ears of roasted corn for sale on a street corner, or pigs' heads and trotters on their way to becoming tacos and chorizo, Street Food of Mexico is more than a cookbook; it is a lovingly chronicled, insightfully photographed journey through Hugo and Ruben Ortega's homeland. - PATRICIA SHARPE, EXECUTIVE EDITOR/FOOD WRITER, TEXAS MONTHLY Hugo Ortega describes the food in this cookbook as 'of the people and for the people.' And that's precisely how I view the humble, accomplished Chef Hugo. His big heart and enormous pride are evident in every exquisite dish photographed by Penny De Los Santos. If tonight I dream of masa, chiles and chicharrones, I have Chef Hugo and this alluring book to thank. - GREG MORAGO, FOOD EDITOR HOUSTON CHRONICLE Selected by SAVEUR Magazine as one of just six essential Mexican cookbooks!
