Mod Mex

"Scott Linquist offers a pinata full of flavors . . . Tacos are jazzed, salsa got snazzed, ceviches have heat, moles ain't sweet, [and the] chili has meat." —New York Magazine

Award-winning chef Scott Linquist transports Mexican flavors (and secrets) from the successful Dos Caminos restaurants to your kitchen table in Mod Mex: Cooking Vibrant Fiesta Flavors at Home. Highlighting regions from the Yucatan to Oaxaca, chef Linquist and cookbook maven Joanna Pruess present more than 125 fresh, inviting, and easy-to-prepare Mexican dishes ranging from Quinoa-Watermelon Salad with Arugula and Baja-Style Mahi-Mahi Tacos to Tuna Ceviche with Mango-Serrano Chile Salsa and Chocolate Layer Cake with Morita Chile-Scented Chocolate Mousse.


In addition to a diverse array of recipes and vibrant four-color photography, informative head notes and sidebars throughout the book offer tips on day-before preparation, recipe variations, cultural insights, cooking techniques, and more.

"Old Mexico meets modern cuisine with delectable results . . . The result is approachable, exciting, delicious food that satisfies any appetite. Beautiful four-color photographs, informative head notes, and sidebars throughout Dos Caminos Mod Mex complete the picture." —Restaurant News Resource
