Recipes for Corn - Elisabetta Parisi

Corn was originally domesticated by the indigenous peoples of Central America. It was used extensively by Native Americans and they developed many recipes which were eventually passed on to the peoples of the European colonies. Corn and the recipes were also passed back to the people of Europe too. Due to the origins of corn it is no surprise that the great wealth of original recipes using corn are to be found in the Southern states of America and Mexico.

The Europeans came with their wheat flour and as a result many recipes were developed using a combination of cornmeal and wheat flour. This lead to a large range of traditional breads being developed as well as such things as corn muffins.

This book is the first in the series of corn based recipes and is designed to give an idea of the range of different foods that can be cooked using corn. There are examples of traditional Southern dishes such as Pone, Hushpuppies and Johnny cakes as well as more up to date versions of foods such as TexMex dishes.

You should try the many varied recipes presented here in this book, which hopefully will convince you of the versatility of corn when it comes to cooking. Once you have tried these corn dishes you may want to explore further recipes in the rest of the series which specialise in the multitude of Corn bread, Corn Chowder and Corn Muffin recipes.
