Author’s note:
“The first time I made a proper mole from scratch, I understood why Mexican cooking is considered an art form. The layering of chillies, chocolate, spices — it takes patience, but every minute is worth it. This book is full of those discoveries: recipes that surprised me, fed my family, and kept me coming back for more.”
