A reader

E. Ortiz produced her classic of Mexican cooking as a labor of love at a time when most people's concept of Mexican cuisine was fritos and tamales. International culinary tastes have come a long way since then, but her work still stands as a standard--a collection of authentic recipes gathered before other cultural influences began to change (or fuse) the traditional to cosmopolitan trends.

Easy To Read, Authentic

Excellent book. It is easy to read with just enough narrative from the author. A must-have to add to your Mexican cookbook collection. It makes for great reading; I just received it so haven't tried any recipes yet, but have many bookmarked to try.
