Sunny Days, Taco Nights

Enrique Olvera is known for the sophisticated Mexican cuisine he serves at his
globally renowned restaurants, including the iconic Pujol, in Mexico City.
However, his true passion is the everyday taco, which he regards as the most
‘democratic’ of foods. In Sunny Days, Taco Nights, Olvera presents an in-depth
exploration of the taco’s history and many different styles, ingredients, and
accompaniments, and much more.

Equal parts culinary history and cookbook, the book features 100 recipes
designed for home cooks, arranged into two main chapters: Classics, which
features street tacos; and Originals, which explores Olvera’s contemporary
reinventions of well-known originals. Classic recipes include Fish Tacos
from northwest Mexico; Chicharron Tacos from Monterrey; Chorizo Tacos with
spinach; and Steak Tacos common at street vendor tricycles in Mexico City.
Contemporary reinventions include Brussels Sprouts Tacos with spicy peanut
butter; Ceviche Tacos; Pork Belly Tacos with smoked beans; and Eggs & Green
Bean Tacos inspired by Olvera’s childhood breakfasts.

Visually stunning, with vivid food photography and a palette inspired
by native corn in Mexico, Sunny Days, Taco Nights is the definitive
book on one of the world’s most beloved foods.
