About Tacohuaco 🌮

We started Tacohuaco as a better way of keeping notes about the foodses we cook, and it evolves together with our cooking needs, with features like scaling and using one recipe as a part of another recipe.

We are trying to create a cooking system where we use the same ingredients, techniques, or even whole recipes for multiple dishes to minimize cooking time and waste, while simplifying ingredient shopping. We also want to cook more using local and seasonal ingredients.

Some recipes are foundational and used throughout the site, while others we cook only for special occasions.

Many recipes here are inspired by our own cuisines (Mexican and Russian), cookbooks, travels, or even a random photo we’ve come across. We like to combine and adjust recipes, and we never follow them precisely, not even our own. We recommend you do the same!

Don’t be afraid to swap ingredients for what you have at home or what’s available at the market. You may surprise yourself with amazing, unexpected results!

We often cook without a recipe at all — axe tacos (or stone tacos) is one of our favorites, and you won’t find it on the site because it’s different every day — we just cook whatever is left in the fridge. It’s the best way to avoid food waste and quickly prepare a delicious meal.
