One of the best in the series of Beautiful Cookbooks
Rating:
5 / 5
From the gourmet to the everyday! This truly is an exceptional cookbook. The photos are a plus to this well researched and written book. Some of the recipes border on the gourmet and may even be difficult to find in Mexican restaurants. The ingredients may seem quite peculiar to the average American but the effort is well worth the experimentation. Case in point: Crepas de Cuitlacoche con salsa de Poblano "Corn Fungus Crepes with Poblano Sauce". Seriously one of the best dishes I've tried. I own three Beautiful Cookbooks, but by far this is the most used. I can count on every recipe being fabulous!
I Love this Cookbook!

This is one of the best books around. My best friend was born and Mexico, and loves the authentic recipes in this book. I have enjoyed many wonderful meals with her family, and couldn't wait to show her this book. She soon bought copies of the book for her family after reading mine. I love all of the "Beautiful Cookbooks". The photography and history of the region(s) are superb, and the recipes are delicious!
Authentic yet simple

This book is a classic of Mexican Cuisine. It's not as anal-retentive as Diana Kennedy and more appealing than Rick Bayless. The recipes are truly authentic and I have lived in Mexico for many years, researching the cuisines of Mexico. This book contains the majority of the most common dishes cooked in homes in Mexico and a great deal of the "alta cocina" works as well. I have made 75% of the dishes in this book and have served them to Mexican friends to rave reviews. This is the real thing. Marilyn Tausend collaborated in this book and it shows. She is an unsung hero of Mexican Cooking. There are others better known, but few that can take a recipe and make it easy to follow, yet as authentic as is possible with ingredients available in the US. If you want to cook like a real Mexican chef, get this book!
