Cocina Mexicana

Last November, I posted some images from a book called BOOZE - a book of drink recipes featuring some super groovy illustrations. Just last week, Pileup reader and frequent image contributor Jeremy Pettis hipped me to a similar-looking book of Mexican recipes called Cocina Mexicana. After seeing a few of the page images, I realized the book was indeed written and illustrated by the Booze crew! (author June Dutton, illustrators Ann & Bruce Butte) I tracked down a copy and am very excited to share these samples from Cocina Mexicana.
