Amazing!

This book is fantastic. It contains recipes for all of my favorite dishes from the restaurant: the fillet mignon in mushroom/tequila sauce, duck in nut/prune mole, and many others. And the best of all, it actually provides the recipe for Rosa's famous guacamole. In general, the instructions are easy to follow and I appreciate many colorful photos. If you enjoy gourmet Mexican, this book is a must!

Excellent Book!

I can recommend this book to anyone who wants to get to know the mexican cuisine! Everything is explained in detail and there is also a lot of additional information about the background of mexican food in it. A great value for this price!

Fantastico!!

Purchased the Rosa's New Mexican Table" cookbook for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it and has already made several recipes from it. The short ribs and the guacomole dip were to die for!! Would recommend this cookbook to anyone who loves to try new dishes.

Oh, how I LOVE this book!

Wildly imaginative and colorful in both content and design, this book and its inventive recipes remind me of wonderful meals at Rosa Mexicano each time I open it. It's tough to evoke the sensual memories of a really good restaurant on two-dimensional pages, but that's what this marvel of a cookbook does. Anyone who's been to Rosa Mexicano cannot help but remember the bold splashes of color, both on the walls and on the plates. Open 'Rosa's New Mexican Table' and I think you'll be transported as I was. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, using ingredients that are easy to find in most markets these days. The section on the many different kinds of chilis is an education in itself. The explanations and headnotes to the recipes offer an insider's perspective that makes me want to rush back to the restaurant and try the many dishes I've eaten there all over again. If you've been to Rosa Mexicano, you'll know what I mean. And if you haven't been yet, check out this book and you'll soon be making a special trip there.

Fantastic

I'm the biggest fan of chef Roberto Santibanez and I can't get over this cookbook. I've tried all the ceviches recipies,the snaper Vera Cruz Style, the salsas and the desserts of course and they are FANTASTIC! And I've noticed that most of this recipies have been on the restaurants menu. I go very often.....it's too close to home. If you want to learn or refine your mexican cooking skills don't wait and get this book, it's a must.
