Breddos Tacos: The Cookbook

Description

Definition of breddos: Derivative of brethren: Archaic plural of brother. Derivative of bredrin: A very good friend; like a best friend or someone you go back very far with. Breddos Tacos revels in being a non-traditional but incredibly inventive taco cookbook with the over 75 recipes taking flavor combinations and ingredients from cuisines from almost every continent in the world, in order to create the ultimate combination of one perfectly cooked taco piled high with complex layers of flavouring. The recipes cover tacos, tostadas & plates and are divided into beef, poultry, pig, seafood, lamb and vegetables, featuring dishes such as Barbecoa beef cheeks, Yucatan Chicken with mango habanero sauce, Green Chorizo & duck egg and Scallop Aguachile. However, the breddos recipes don't just cover tacos (although most of the recipes can be piled onto taco-esque 'edible plates') as they also offer street food staples such as the Iberico ham cheeseburger and Yucatan spatchcock chicken with Dong's flatbreads. The guys also share the breddos story to ultimate taco-dom fame; detailing their epic taco-fuelled Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas-esque road-trip around Mexico, Miami, the Deep South and Los Angeles devised solely to discover the greatest flavor combinations in all America - on a taco. This book will sate even the greatest taco fanatic whilst also revolutionizing the ingredients and dishes you can create from the miniature taco hero.

Breddos Tacos is the brainchild of Nud Dudhia and Chris Whitney, two mates who started a taco shack made from scrap wood in a Hackney car park. That was back in 2013, now they have turned their flagship venture into a fixed restaurant in Dinerama in Shoreditch and another in Canada Water. They plan to open a central London taqueria in late 2016. Author Location London
