There’s a staying at home version of the #Mangon There’s a staying at home version of the #Mangonada in my Taste of Tucson cookbook. Link in profile - learn how to make my Raspado Mangonada with Mango-Lime Granita. “The name raspados comes from the word “raspar,” which means “to scrape.” The treat’s construction process involves shaving frozen snowy flakes from a giant block of ice into a cup, then saturating it all with fruit and juice and/or sweet-and-sour #Chamoy syrup. Salty-sweet #tamarind candies are often sprinkled on top of that. Giant blocks of ice are hard to come by, but I realized that you could use the method for making granita and get similar results in your home freezer. A granita is juice combined with sugar, and then frozen and scraped. So, instead of pure shaved ice I am using a mango-lime granita as the base for the raspado, which I then top with fresh fruit, Chamoy, tamarind, and seasonings, as they do in the local treat shops. #tasteoftucson #raspados #tamarindo #recipes #sonoranfood #sonoranrecipes #newcookbook #mexicanfood #mexicanfoodporn #foodporn #food #foodphotography #cookbook #sweet #saltysweet #jackiealpersphotography #tucsonsonora #mexicanstreetfood

Here are a selection of portraits I’ve taken ove Here are a selection of portraits I’ve taken over the years of some of the chefs featured in Taste of Tucson. I’d planned on photographing all of the chefs featured in the #cookbook... and I still will once it’s safe to do so. All the 16 local chefs featured in #tasteoftucson have contributed to the culinary flavor of this town, winning awards and accolades in the process. I first met most of them while on photography and food writing assignment for various publications over the years, and they are a big part of why I wanted to create this book. Their creativity and dedication to their craft is truly phenomenal. Read more about them - http://www.jackieshappyplate.com/taste-of-tucson-meet-the-chefs/

This hot dog is so good. It's a far cry from the S This hot dog is so good. It's a far cry from the Sonoran hot dogs we all know and love but it's still Sonoran in nature. A jumbo hot dog is topped with roasted corn, mayo, lime and spices and served in a top-cut, whole grain bolillo roll. Split a *bolillo roll across the top and stuff with the hot dog of your choice. Toss roasted corn kernels with a little mayo and lime juice (or use the recipe for street corn from my cookbook Taste of Tucson: Sonoran-Style Recipes) and spoon the corn over the hot dog, then top with oregano, chili powder, crumbly Mexican cotija cheese & hot sauce. Decorate with a squirt of mayo. * Note: Bolillos are a slightly sweet variation of baguettes that may have stemmed from the French invasion of Mexico #tasteoftucson #newcookbook #streetcorn #hotdog #sonoranfood #sonoranhotdog #jackiealpersphotography
Cinco de Mayo is coming up next Tuesday and you ar Cinco de Mayo is coming up next Tuesday and you are going to need to know how to make yourselves some drinks and snacks at home. If you make the strawberry-habanero infused tequila recipe from @theparishtucson today it will be ready in time. It makes a mean margarita or straight up sipper. Don’t have strawberries right now? That's OK, just sub out some other red berries. No habanero ? Use serranos or jalapenos or ghost chilis or any fresh chiles. #Tequila is a necessity though. This is an outtake recipe from my new cookbook Taste of Tucson: Sonoran-Style Recipes. The recipe for The Parish's Strawberry Habanero Prickly Pear Margarita is included in the post. Serve it with any of the Sonoran style street snacks featured in #tasteofTucson. Get the #recipe: https://www.jackieshappyplate.com/recipe-for-the-parishs-strawberry-habanero-infused-tequila/
