The hard part is never the method. It is the shopping.
0+ Mexican recipes and 425+ ingredient pages, written for someone cooking in Australia. Every ingredient page says what the thing actually is, where it is sold here, what it costs in Australian dollars and what to reach for when no shop within range has it.
A cuisine recognised by UNESCO
Traditional Mexican cuisine was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010 — the first cuisine to be listed in its own right.
Two things make Australia different, and both are in the recipes. The Australian tablespoon is 20 mL — four teaspoons, not three — so a recipe written anywhere else overshoots every time it says «1 tbsp». And pork here is cheap: shoulder at around eight dollars a kilo makes cochinita pibil one of the least expensive things on the site. Where something genuinely is not sold — tilapia is a declared pest species and hoja santa is not in the country at all — we name what to use instead and what that costs.
Recipes measured for Australia
The 20 mL Australian tablespoon, 1 cup = 250 mL, oven temperatures in °C, and costs in Australian dollars.
A sourcing catalogue, not a wish list
Dried chillies, masa harina, tomatillos and more — with Australian prices, the importers and Asian grocers that carry them, and substitutes that behave the same way.
