Sobremesa

'I would cook and eat every single dish in it' Sami Tamimi, author of Falastin and Jerusalem

Discover a real taste of Mexico with a modern twist.

In Mexico, ‘sobremesa’ – which translates to ‘over the table’ – is all about enjoyment: the tradition of relaxing at the dining table with loved ones and embracing quality food, company and stories.

From soups to salads, suppers to sharers and small plates, staples to desserts, Mexican-born chef and recipe developer Susana Villasuso has distilled the top recipes inspired by her family in her début cookbook, including the best-known dishes made in kitchens up and down Mexico.

The result is a collection of veg, meat and fish recipes made with everyday ingredients to savour in your own home. These are flavourful, comforting and shareable dishes that you’ll keep coming back to for simple weeknight dinners, delicious weekend feasts and everything in between.
