Summary: 5 Stars
I not only own this book but have cooked several recipes from this book they have gotten rave reviews at family functions. I started wth the basics since I was a new cook when I first ourchased this book. The "fresh salsa mexicana" is a tasty, basic salsa to make thatg tastes excellent. I made the Ceviche which is located in the Appetizer section and people at work and at family functions have just went nuts over it, I could notbeleive it. I then went on to make the chicken taquitos/flautas with the fresh gauacomle salsa (pg. 23 I think) and I almost died from how tasty they were.
To make a long story short, this book does not just throw 1,000 recipes at you it ,throws 1,000 recipes that actually taste wonderful and this book covers the whole Mexican food spectru so you will not need any other mexican cook books ! The only problem I had with this book is that there were no pics !
Book Review: Fantastic book
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my son and his new wife.She is recently graduated with a Spanish major and loves anything that has mexican/spanish culture attached to it. This book more than filled the void for them since they love mexican food but didnt have much experience in cooking it. The book is unbelievably full of 1,000 great recipes.I have never seen such a nicely put together book of mexican recipes that are not off the wall meals. This is a julia childs style book with a mexican flavor for all.I recommend this book to all and to my husband who needs to buy it for me.Book Review: Lots of awesome recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lots of awesome recipes! So many variations! I gave the book to my roommate as a gift and she absolutely loved it. It gave her so many ideas that she didn't think about. She says she can't wait to try out the recipes at her resturant!Book Review: Muy bueno!
Summary: 4 Stars
For someone seeking a good compendium of Mexican recipes that go beyond the standards and are authentic in nature, I'm not sure a better book could be found. This is not for the "Taco Bell" fans. 1,000 does seem overwhelming and does not allow for photos (which I always like to see in cookbooks), but there would be little reason to need a second cookbook for this type of cuisine.
My only complaints are that there should be a better guide to the "hotness" of a recipes (as you might see on a menu for example) and there's little guide to variations on recipes (such as more or less pepper and how it might effect the taste of the dish). Also, I expect for many some of the ingredients may be hard to come by (although in some instances an alternative is listed), in which case many of the recipes in the book may be useless.
