Crossing the borders

I first came across Marcela Valladolid in Food network's the best thing I ever ate. That same night I saw her on Nate Berkus show. I then picked up her book.
The introduction with her background of going to a San Diego school from Tijuana made for quite an imaginary ride between two nations.
Shrimp stuffed in chiles, shrimp served in scooped half avocado make for great edible-carrier foods. I had shrimp on Friday at the office, when my friend shared his flatbread lunch with me. With shrimp, scallops I find myself thinking that they are fine but not as tender as chicken. That day the chef, put some hummus he made on a piece of flatbread and called it a Taquito. I liked the hummus but the Pesto, not being a cheese lover, I made a bitter face.

Avocado cilantro dip for cauliflower sounds good. This is what I used for making the avocado rice using Robinson's 'Green Goddess recipe'.
Chayote with yogurt dip
The author provides the history of recipes very well, like in enchilada gratin.
I havent heard of shrimp cocktails and clamato
The Italian cookbooks that I read in the recent past were talking about ingredients marrying each other, but the sauces in  this divorciados are content wearing their own colours.

Looking at Chile relleno, I was reminded of mirchi bajji. If you find yourself in India, you should try the mirchi bajji. The fried smell will drive you to it. The chaat spice powder sprikled onto the bajji is a good evening perk up. The chili is deseeded and stuffed with tamarind. You can eat it as a whole, if you are not a kid. I have heard of cut mirchi bhajji from my friends, but never had it.
I was surprised to find maggi  spice in one of the recipes.
