Cocina Mexicana: Fresh, vibrant recipes for authentic Mexican food by Adriana Cavita

Adriana Cavita grew up in a small village in Mexico and was inspired to enter the food industry by her grandmother who ran a street-food business. She has since travelled extensively around the country, from Mexico City the capital (where she was born), across to Oaxaca and the Yucatán.
