In Mezcla, Ixta Belfrage’s foolproof techniques and inventive ingredient combinations infuse everyday eating with the energy of a special occasion. In Spanish, mezcla means mix, mixture or blend and is used to describe music and art as well as cooking. In this first solo book, Belfrage shares her favourite mezcla of flavours. These are impactful, fuss-free dishes to entertain. With quick, flavourful recipes such as Chilli Roasted Oyster Mushroom Skewers and Giant Cheese on Toast with Urfa Butter, as well as dishes to spend more time over like Whole Roast Chicken Curry with Crispy Curry Leaves and Prawn Lasagne with Habanero Oil, your guests will be left wanting more and more.
