Wonderful Book

I usually don't buy books that look like this; on the surface it look cutesy, not particularly serious. Well, you can't always judge a book by the cutesiness of its cover or title for that matter. What 1st attracted me was the author's later book "1000 Mexican Recipes" which is really an amazing collection of every recipe you could want a receipe for in Mexican cooking. When I searched for other books she had written this came up. This book of streamlined Mexican recipes is really great too for all those times when you don't have time to work from scratch yet want something that is authentically Mexican.

O LA!!!

This is the very best Mexican cookbook you can buy..I have purchased 6 and given them to my friends.

Wonderful recipes

This is one of my favorite books to cook from. It's filled with wonderful and diverse recipes from across different Mexican regions. This is the real Mexico, from Chiapas to Guadalajara to Puebla. Many people harbor a misconception about Mexican food, thinking it means only spicy beans and rice dishes. Marge Poore smashes that stereotype and brings us dozens of flavorful meals, rich sauces, and savory dishes, most of which aren't "spicy" at all - only incredibly delicious! Everyone in my family, from my aging mother to teen-aged nephews have enjoyed and appreciated the unique blend of herbs and flavors that are used whenever I prepare one of these excellent, simple recipes. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Enjoy it!

My favorite cookbook

This is by far my favorite cookbook -- I've tried literally dozens of the recipes and each has been wonderful. I've had several dinner parties and cooked holiday meals using these recipes exclusively. The Mexican Gazpacho; Pork Stew with Plaintains, Sweet Potatoes and Pineapple; and Chicken Breasts with Creamy Pumpkin Seed Sauce are among my family/friends' favorites. This is a great book, I think, for beginners as well as experienced cooks.
