Food from My Heart: Cuisines of Mexico Remembered and Reimagined

Lavish Praise for Food from My Heart “There’s as much for the serious reader in Zarela Martínez’s book Food From My Heart as for the serious cook. Martínez’s memoirs of growing up in Mexico…make great armchair reading…” —Los Angeles Times “Restaurateur Zarela Martínez does double duty in Food From My Heart, writing brilliantly about people and culture while demonstrating how to make quite fabulous dishes.” —Cosmopolitan “Zarela Martínez is an absolute genius with flavors and this book is a great guide to her talent. I count it as one of the most interesting and invaluable additions to my library, which dates almost forty years.” —Craig Claiborne Food and life are inseparable in Mexico—not just eating to live but eating to celebrate, to come together, to worship God and spirit. In Food From My Heart, Zarela Martínez describes the connection between Mexican culture and Mexican food—a collision of Old and New World ingredients, and the culinary influences of a constantly shifting ethnic mosaic. Through the telling of her own story, Martínez reveals the inextricable bond that exists between food and religion and the way Mexicans mark birth, death, marriage, and the daily business of living. Drawing upon the influences of friends, family, and traditional foods from many regions in Mexico, Martínez has created her own personal style of cooking: 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 the new—in the form of memoir, stories, and more than 175 recipes to create this unique cookbook.

Fresh Is Best’s freeze-dried treats enter the preparation process frozen, then are allowed to dry at low temperatures stretched out over a period of days. This process allows for maximum nutrient retention of the raw product – meat! And what do cats or dogs like better than meat? Nothing! Many so-called freeze-dried treats are dried quickly in a day or less at temperatures exceeding 180 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively cooking the product. This defeats the purpose of freeze-drying, as enzymes and other essential nutrients begin to deteriorate at 118 degrees Fahrenheit. You won’t find a better combination of drive-’em-wild BIG taste and complete, balanced nutrition anywhere.
