Book Reviews of 1,000 Mexican Recipes
Book Review: No cumin, please!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a very common misconception that cumin is a spice used a lot in Mexican food. That is not the case; only in certain recipes cumin is used, and they are a minority. Probably Americans have confused the spices from Mexican and Asian cooking. Practically every recipe in this book asks for cumin. I'm shocked.Book Review: Ole !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not only a great cookbook, but educational and entertaining as well. Recipes contain excellent directions, and the history and rationale behind many of the dishes. I may have to order another copy, because I can see this one getting worn out in time.Book Review: Outstanding collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first Mexican cookbook. My husband and I love Mexican food, and I decided to see whether I could learn how to make some of the tasty dishes myself as opposed to buying pre-packaged mixes and salsas in a jar. 1000 Mexican Recipes was a fortunate choice! I learned the basics in the first chapters, and this gave me the confidence to try the main dishes. Wow! I was amazed at the difference it made to use some fresh ingredients and cook them properly for best results.
The book has no pictures, so it's not a "coffee table book." Instead, it is a no nonsense guide to Mexican cooking that has very, very clear instructions and explanations. After trying some of these recipes I felt confident to add some creative touches of my own.
I really recommend 1000 Mexican Recipes for the cook who wants to learn the techniques and ingredients of Mexican cuisine. It may not sit on my coffee table, but it is on a bookshelf right next to my kitchen....and it's getting dog-eared!
Book Review: Great Bargain
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price I would recommend this book for the many, many recipes it contains alone. Good reference book for Mexican cooking at home.Book Review: The Only Mexican Book You'll Ever Need
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has every Mexican recipe Mexico has to offer. Try to cook a little at a time so to familiarize yourself with Mexican recipes. No Mexican will turn down your food!! This is the Bible of cooking Authentic Mexican food. And it's not that hard either.
