Renowned for her uncompromising insistence on using the correct local ingredients and preparation techniques, she has taught generations of cooks how to prepare traditional dishes from the villages of Mexico, and in doing so, has documented and helped preserve the country's amazingly diverse and rich foodways. Kennedy's own meals for guests are often Mexican, but she also indulges herself and close friends with the nostalgic foods in \u003ci\u003eNothing Fancy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis acclaimed cookbook--now expanded with new and revised recipes, additional commentary, photos, and reminiscences--reveals Kennedy's passion for simpler, soul-satisfying food, from the favorite dishes of her British childhood (including a technique for making clotted cream that actually works) to rare recipes from Ukraine, Norway, France, and other outposts. In her inimitable style, Kennedy discusses her addictions--everything from good butter, cream, and lard to cold-smoked salmon, Seville orange marmalade, black truffle shavings, escamoles (ant eggs), and proper croissants--as well as her bêtes noires--kosher salt, nonfat dairy products, cassia \"cinnamon,\" botoxed turkeys, and nonstick pans and baking sprays, among them. And look out for the ire she unleashes on \"cookbookese,\" genetically modified foods, plastic, and unecological kitchen practices!
