Complete recipe index

Sources and scope

The nine PDF tables of contents form the foundation of this index. The Pátzcuaro book also has ten recipes in an appendix (pp. 149–155) and six numbered salsa preparations (p. 135) that are not listed individually in its contents. Nine historical medicinal uses from the xoconostle book are identified separately from culinary recipes.

English translations are editorial finding aids, not English titles supplied by the original cookbooks. Regional culinary terms without established English equivalents remain in their original form. A dash in the Indigenous-language column means no corresponding title was captured, not that the community lacks a name for the dish.

Each bilingual recipe is counted once, not once per language. Indigenous-language equivalents are included when transcribed, but their spelling should be checked against the scan before formal citation. Parenthetical labels such as “another version” and descriptors for the six unnamed sauces are editorial distinctions, not original titles. Printed page numbers sometimes differ from PDF page positions.

This is a research finding aid, not a full recipe transcription. Some historical dishes use wild animals; the names are retained for documentary fidelity, not as culinary recommendations.
