Molienda milenaria: historia, relatos y recetas del mole
México: Matanga Taller Editorial, 2025. First Edition. Paperback. 269 pages, wrps, 23 cm. new. Item #89341
This book is a rich, sensory exploration of Mexico's most iconic dish: mole.
The work weaves together historical research, creative storytelling, and traditional recipes to trace the evolution of mole over thousands of years. It treats the dish not just as a recipe, but as a narrative of identity, blending the "milling" (molienda) of ingredients with the "milling" of cultural histories. Dobarro captures the essence of the kitchen as a place of reinvention, moving from ancestral origins to the diverse regional variations that exist today, particularly emphasizing the traditions of Oaxaca.
