Real Mexican Food

Ben Fordham and Felipe Fuentes Cruz aim to deliver everything that is exciting and fresh about Mexican food to the people of Britain with their London-based restaurants, Benito’s Hat.

From the beaches of Baja and Cancun to the mountains of the Sierra Madre, Mexico has an incredible variety of vibrant flavours to offer. All of this rich culinary culture has inspired Benito’s Hat’s delicious burritos, tacos, soups and salads. Ben Fordham and Mexican chef Felipe have created a cookbook offering their favourite dishes from the restaurants, plus many more from Felipe’s collection of authentic recipes. You’ll find Starters; Soups & Salads; Main Dishes; Side Dishes; Salsas; Desserts; and Drinks. Mouth-watering recipes include guacamole with homemade corn tortilla chips, burritos with beef birria, pico de gallo and salsa brava, tacos with prawns and paprika, refried beans with chorizo, Mexican flan, margaritas and juices.
