COLLECTION – Mexican

500 years ago Columbus landed in Central America – and kickstarted the creation of some of the most vibrant cuisines in the world!

Mexican food, a fresh and flavour-packed experience that makes for ideal entertaining, grew from a show-stopping combination of rich Spanish meats and grains with South America’s bold spices and fresh ingredients. It’s an iconic dining experience like no other!

This is all down to the wild variety of ingredients used in this cuisine. Avocado, corn, tomatoes, a dazzling array of different chili peppers, and – most importantly – chocolate; all these are native to the Americas. They were completely unknown in Europe and many classic foods didn’t have the same flavours they do today.

However, once trade began with America, chilis and tomatoes and corn became a wild success in Europe. Over the years the fresh and bold new flavours became a trademark of Mexican food and an exciting option around the world.

For those looking for a way to make their next meal with visitors have food as colourful as the company, this is the way to go. Mexican food provides countless variations of vibrant flavours and colours that you can utilise to impress your guests – it’s surprisingly easy, too!

And it doesn’t have to be limited to tacos and guacamole, as delicious as those staples are – there’s a lot more where they came from. Mexican food provides a wide variety of flavours and textures that are popular with all ages. We’ve got many options here, from fresh salads to sweet treats, that make for a meal you won’t forget!

Starting out with the entrée, we have a recipe that combines South American flavours with Middle Eastern freshness. Charred corn hummus is a deceptively simple starter to excite your guests’ tastebuds with fresh and smoky flavours.

For the main meal, there are options as flavourful as they are colourful – an Asian-Mexican fusion dish of fried rice, a fresh and zingy chopped salad, beef burritos that perfectly blend savour with spice, or a full spread – a lamb barbacoa feast!

And we can’t forget dessert…you could opt for sweet comfort food with a reimagining of the classic Mexican favourite, a churro cake, or go all in for a decadent chocolate orange pot (chocolate being another brilliant South American creation!).

No matter what recipes you choose to be part of your Mexican spread, you can be sure of one thing – there will be flavour aplenty!
