Tamales Fast and Delicious Mexican Meals — is written by Alice Guadalupe Tapp – who is a West Coast restaurateur. Alice wrote “Tamales 101” in 2002 and has expanded and shared with us her knowledge of tamales in this cookbook.
Tamales includes from scratch recipes and also recipes using masa that you can purchase from your local market. Her instructions are easy to follow and straightforward.
She provides us with dough, salsa and filling recipes as well as the full spectrum of tamales including a Nose to Tail Tamale chapter as well as vegetarian and vegan tamales. She has a chapter on inside out tamales — or tontos — which I found interesting as well as dessert tamales! Oreo tamales yes!
I am totally unexperienced in the world of tamales and this book will help me remedy that.
