In Photos: A Gastronomic Tour Guide in Mexico

Yucatán

For 60 years in the inland town of Kaua, 25km west of Valladolid, Antonia Chulim Noh, or La Tia , has been making tortillas and selling them outside her hut to passing lorry drivers – and tourists – from 4am until midnight each day. She uses maize harvested from their own fields by her husband, and her signature dish, poc-chuc, is thinly sliced pork marinated in orange and spices. Mexico: A Culinary Quest by Hossein Amirsadeghi and Ana Paula Gerard is published by Thames & Hudson (£45); to order a copy for £38.25, including UK p&p, visit theguardianbookshop
