culinary inspiration

Cooking is one of my favorite creative outlets. I have bookshelves full of cookbooks and subscribe to many cooking magazines. I am always searching for new cuisines to try and new ways to use ingredients. Knowing my culinary obsession, a friend told me to check out the menu for Toloache, a restaurant in New York City. Just looking at the menu makes me want to travel to New York. But more so, I love working from the descriptions of the dishes and trying to recreate my own version. This week: tamal de puerco.
