 The Best of its kind February 21, 1999

I have a whole rack of cookbooks in my kitchen and none is used more than this book. Every recipe has turned out to be a grand success. You do need to have access to Mexican ingredients as many of the recipies call for a few exotic ingredients. You will not be disappointed in this cookbook however.
 One of the BEST Mexican cookbooks around! August 18, 2003

The one and only reason this book is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of color photographs. That is the only factor preventing this book from perfection. The recipies are manageable, authentic, and unbelievably delicious. I never thought I could cook a Mexican dinner better than the ones I'd had at the best Mexican restaurant in town, but with this book, I did it. There's also a great number of different recipies to choose from, all wonderful. This book is a treasure and an absolute must-have for any cooking enthusiast.

This book has a ton of U.S./Mexican border recipes and has won the accolades of many of the best known chefs of this regional cuisine. Try the Ensenada Tacos de Pescado on P.333(Killer) Bill and Cheryl Alters Jamison have a number of cookbooks on the market and they're all top notch. Check out the mail-order source section on P.485 for those hard to find ingredients.

This book is more comprehensive than any I've ever come across. Moving from Boston a few months back-- my partner has already exclaimed, "You cook like you've lived here all your life!" Good, solid recipes, no hype. Bene!

Excellent, interesting recipes that work. I'm not a big southwestern cuisine fan, but I cook from this book regularly, and I consider it one of the all-time great additions to my cookbook library. MUST MAKE: salsas, roast chicken, elemental arrechares, and the best chili you've ever eaten (Dora's Carne con Chile). Throw out that Old El Paso box that is languishing in your pantry, and get cooking!
