Reader Reviews:
Pedestrian and poorly written (3/3 people found this helpful)
Anyone wishing to discover Mexican cuisine should look elsewhere. Better recipes are in many other books (Diana Kennedy, Bayless, the Oaxaca book). The writing is full of cliches and the shopping and dining "tips" in Mexico were worthless. I'm very sorry I bought it! Actually, the dumbed-down recipes can be handy if you're in a rush.
great cookbook and travel guide (0/0 people found this helpful)
This is a great cookbook. I've traveled a lot in Mexico and cooked a lot of Mexican food, using the classic cookbooks like Diana Kennedy's. The recipes that I've tried in this one are uniformly terrific. Just as important, the accompanying narratives and photos draw you back into the whole sensual experience of Mexico, so both the cooking and the eating take on an added dimension of rich experience.
