By SUSAN DELIGIrt
When you mention Mexican
foods to Mina Kennedy of
New 'York City, the farthest
this that con's to her mind
are tacos .and, refried 'beans.
And canned enchilada
sauce.
The author of "The cuishifos
of Mexico" is more likely to
be concocting images of her
Bola de Queso Reileno
(Stuffed Cheese) whose ingre-
dients and methods take up
almost three pages of her
lovely book, or her On .home-
rnade tortillas which can be
found in many of her Mexican
dies.
Her book Nemo selected
carefully, she says, because
Mexico does not have one cut*
eine but several.
First there are pre-Colum-
bian dishes "that have abso-
lutely no outside influences"
and there are the Spanish,
French and Italian touches
found in foods in various sec-
tions of Mexico, she reports.
You'll bind Spanish spices,
touches of France in Mexico's
breads and pastries and, from
Italy, the use of some pastas.
"Mead foOdi are
�Y earthy l surprisp
," *ay*' irs.
"Thereis almost a clash of
flavors and textus."
And everything ;isn't hot and
spicy, she emphasize..
In this countryk she •also ob-
jects to the generous use of an
411 -purpose enchilada sauce
"that is poured over every.
thing and is ghastly."`
"There are probably ` 2,000
;ata' tions of enchilada sauce
and all are terribly .exciting
and different."
Her book can about,:.she
says, simply because "there
was absolutely no real book on
Mexican cooking. And .all of
the quick methods and all of
the quick Mexican foods have
been . dealt with somewhere
else." '
The author says she delib-
erately did not strive for sten-
plilcitY;
She began testing and
• gathering Mexican dishes
during the years she lived
with her late husband, Paul
Kennedy, who was a .New
York Times correspondent for
Mexico, Central Alnnerica and
the Caribbean. Mr. Kennedy
died in 1967 of carver.
"It was that year that Craig
Claiborne, food editor of the
New York Times, suggested I
start teaching people Mexican
cooking," she says.
So, one Sunday afternoon in
January, 1969, Diana Ken-
nedy opened the first cooking
school of Mexican cuisines .in
her New York apartment
kitchen. Although she has had
to cease the classes because
of injury to her feet through
jogging, she plans to resume
the classes when she can. The
book then evolved from the
classes.
Below are Diana Kennedy's
recipes for Polio A La Uva
(Chicken Cooked with
Grapes) and a delectable al-
mond sponge cake (Torte de
Cielo) :

AUTHOR ESS—Mexican cookbook author Mrs. Diana Kennedy of New York City says
there are a number of misconceptions concerning just what constitutes Mexican cuisine.
Mexico has not one but several cuisines, she says, and all are exciting foods to savor.

Police siren shocks
baby 'back to life'
ART FOIL—Imitaf onl embossing ith aluminum foil
creates a distinctive wall hanging.
A 4 -month-old Sheffield,
England, baby whose mother
thought he was dead was
shocked back to life by the
siren on the police car in
which he was being rushed to
the hospital for emergency
care.
One policeman tried first
aid on the apparently dead
boy while the other policeman
drove the car, switching on
the two-tone siren, at which
the baby jumped and coughed
his way back to conscious-
ness. He is now very well and
being held for observation. —

ment, aluminum as we..,know
it, became a . common, sub-
stance. It is used in products
as varied as submarines,
cooling pots, roofs, water
pipes and steam irons. :Its
most outstanding features are
extreme lightness that does
not detract from 'its strength,
and resistance to rust.
Today, the United States,
Canada and Russia lead the
world in manufacturing this
versatile product. One of its
most popular uses is found in
the form of foil wrap, so
handy for roasting or refrig-
eration protection of food-
stuffs.
Chances are your kitchen
contains a roll of inexpensive
aluminum foil. It can be the
basis for an unusual art proj-
ect that imitates the process
called "embossing."
When working with leather,
wood, paper or metal, one can
stamp or press out a raised
design through the use of
shaping tools or "dies." Let-
terheads and business cards,
tooled leather belts and wal-
lets,'or decorated silver and
other metal objects often de-
pend on embossing for their
artistic beauty.
The Greeks were probably
the first to make embossed
coins and used dies held on
•anvils. Today, iritri,cate
stamping machines make
pennies, nickels, dimes, quar-
ters and fifty cent pieces.
You can do imitation em-
bossing by using aluminum
foil to create wall hangings
that are distinctive. Begin
with plain cardboard and ar-
range odds and ends on its
surface as fancy dictates. In
the. accompanying illustra-
tion, bottle caps, a plastic pia
nit.' knife and fork, an empty
wooden thread spool, a cc
tamer top, a. marble ..and

then glued into place.
