a great starting resource for regional and gourmet Mexican dishes。

This book is an absolute disaster。 Poorly edited （if edited at all）， disorganized， and at times dangerous （adding cold milk to smoking hot oil？ What？）。 I really wanted this book to live up to it's lofty goals， but sadly it fell dramatically short of that mark。 Do not buy。 This book is an absolute disaster。 Poorly edited （if edited at all）， disorganized， and at times dangerous （adding cold milk to smoking hot oil？ What？）。 I really wanted this book to live up to it's lofty goals， but sadly it fell dramatically short of that mark。 Do not buy。 。。。more

A marvelous tool I constantly use to research traditional recipes I might not have prepared before， but whose flavor is deep in my memories。A book that can be found in Spanish， English， and， French and that I would recommend for those who like Mexican food like the one we eat locally in Mexico， but not necessarily while you're there。 A marvelous tool I constantly use to research traditional recipes I might not have prepared before， but whose flavor is deep in my memories。A book that can be found in Spanish， English， and， French and that I would recommend for those who like Mexican food like the one we eat locally in Mexico， but not necessarily while you're there。 。。。more

I made the slow cooked pork on page 403 and it tasted incredible！ My issue with the book though， is that it's not very specific。 For example here are some of the ingredients listed: 4 Tbs oregano， dry roasted: Is this 4tbs of dry oregano that you then roast or freshly picked oregano that you dry roast。？ Depending on which one you use， you are going to have a lot more or less oregano in the recipe。 Another ingredient listed was 4tbs of ground dried chilies: What type of chili should I use？ I know I made the slow cooked pork on page 403 and it tasted incredible！ My issue with the book though， is that it's not very specific。 For example here are some of the ingredients listed: 4 Tbs oregano， dry roasted: Is this 4tbs of dry oregano that you then roast or freshly picked oregano that you dry roast。？ Depending on which one you use， you are going to have a lot more or less oregano in the recipe。 Another ingredient listed was 4tbs of ground dried chilies: What type of chili should I use？ I know people who are from Mexico are pretty picky about its chilies。 The recipe also requires a person to add 5tbs of achiote paste but nowhere in the book does it tell you how to make this paste。 I had to look on the internet to learn how to make it。 This recipe book does contain some pretty beautiful ideas but I am a bit nervous that some recipes were not tried and tested by the author。 The recipe also asked for 3 heads of garlic。 Has the author ever tried the slow cooked pork with 3 heads of garlic？？？？ The flavor of everything else would have been lost if I put in anymore。 Anyways， I will use this book as a reference and I will use discretion when making most of the recipes。 。。。more

I wanted to love this cookbook but I don't。 It isn't easy to use and the recipes have had issues/problems。 It's positive is the variety of recipes from across Mexico。 It won't be a "go to" cookbook for me but I will probably keep it as a reference。 I wanted to love this cookbook but I don't。 It isn't easy to use and the recipes have had issues/problems。 It's positive is the variety of recipes from across Mexico。 It won't be a "go to" cookbook for me but I will probably keep it as a reference。 。。。more

Lots and lots of recipes which branch from the usual and obvious to the very unusual and interesting。 Most recipes have ingredients that are accessible in most larger towns/cities。 I would have liked discussion around the recipes but these are just recipes。

This is an encyclopedia of Mexican recipes organized by broad type and the region of origin is listed。 If you ate something in Mexico City or other province and were looking for a basic recipe， I suspect you have a good chance finding it here。 This book assumes that you are already an accomplished Mexican chef， ingredients are not covered that well， no recommended pantry or cooking tools are listed。 Also missing is nutritional information， though I suspect in many cases you don't want to know。 I This is an encyclopedia of Mexican recipes organized by broad type and the region of origin is listed。 If you ate something in Mexico City or other province and were looking for a basic recipe， I suspect you have a good chance finding it here。 This book assumes that you are already an accomplished Mexican chef， ingredients are not covered that well， no recommended pantry or cooking tools are listed。 Also missing is nutritional information， though I suspect in many cases you don't want to know。 If I were to recommend a better book for beginners， I would recommend "Gran Cocina Latina: The Food of Latin America"。 。。。more

The recipes included some intriguing but difficult to come by ingredients such as worms and ant eggs！ It was interesting reading and it provided a quite different glimpse into Mexican culture， but I probably won't be using it as my "go to" cookbook。 The recipes included some intriguing but difficult to come by ingredients such as worms and ant eggs！ It was interesting reading and it provided a quite different glimpse into Mexican culture， but I probably won't be using it as my "go to" cookbook。 。。。more

I really wanted to love this book。 It's beautiful， it's thorough （huitlacoche， ant eggs and maguey worms， anyone？）， and it's on one of my favorite cuisines。 However， the book did not allow me to love it。 I found numerous errors throughout （ingredients listed in instructions that were missing from the ingredient list， ingredients listed that are not referenced in the instructions， confusing directions， etc。） On at least one recipe， the region was listed as "falta" which could lead non-Spanish-spe I really wanted to love this book。 It's beautiful， it's thorough （huitlacoche， ant eggs and maguey worms， anyone？）， and it's on one of my favorite cuisines。 However， the book did not allow me to love it。 I found numerous errors throughout （ingredients listed in instructions that were missing from the ingredient list， ingredients listed that are not referenced in the instructions， confusing directions， etc。） On at least one recipe， the region was listed as "falta" which could lead non-Spanish-speakers to believe there is an area by this name， rather than translating it to "unknown" or "missing"。 I also found the placement of many recipes in the book to be unintuitive， especially the section by guest authors at the back whose recipes span all the major categories， yet are thrown together in a clump。 And while I understand it is a stylistic and space-saving choice， the lack of explanations or cultural/historical notes at the beginning of recipes makes the book feel thrown together and impersonal。Unfortunately， I expect I will most likely use this book by looking through it for inspiration， then googling the recipes to confirm ingredients and instructions。 。。。more
