Product Description
From Library Journal
Chevys is a vast chain (160 and counting) of Mexican restaurants that has spread across the country from San Francisco (Rio Bravo is a recent affiliate, based in the Southeast). It describes its food as "Fresh Mex," and one of its mottoes is "No Cans in Our Kitchen." This book features a lively design, sort of a scrapbook of photographs and recipes and tips on Post-its, and the text is written in a likable, humorous style. The recipes, from Smoky Tortilla Soup to Cracked Crab Enchiladas to Chocolate Tequila Bread Pudding, seem delicious; many of them, however, do have a number of subcomponents, such as chile purees and spice mixes--but that's why they call it "Fresh Mex." For most collections.

This review is from: Chevys Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
I ordered this book because I wanted the Smoky Tortilla Soup recipe which in the book description says it contains. It does not. I was very disappointed and am still trying to find that recipe.

This review is from: Chevys Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
I recently moved from my home state of California, where authentic Panaderias were just a hop, skip, and a jump away. When I moved to Nebraska, the Mexican food was and still is absoultely tasteless, greasy, and horrible. I purchased this book a few weeks ago, basing my judgement on all the many times I have eaten at Chevy's back home. I have been searching for a good Pico de Gallo recipe for about 2 years and found one in this recipe book. It only took me about 10 minutes to make and when I dipped my tortilla chip into this chunky salsa, I literally fell on the floor and could not believe how good it was!! (I ate the whole batch in about 30 minutes) Also, I could not believe that I made this! Mexican cooking has always been intimidating to me, because of all of the time, patience, and effort that goes into preparing authentic mexican dishes. This cook book is colorful, filled with delicious recipes, beautiful photos, and helpful tips and tricks that make cooking Mexican, from scratch no less, easier that I thought could be done!! Also, there aren't many Mexican specialty grocery stores in Nebraska and I have found all of the ingredients listed in the recipes in the Hispanic Foods isle at my grocery store. If you love fresh Mexican food, made from fresh ingredients, GET THIS BOOK!!

This review is from: Chevys Fresh Mex Cookbook (Hardcover)
We were recently in the Phoenix area and ate dinner at Chevy's, where I saw the cookbook on display. I brought it home and we have been eating terrific Fresh Mex food for 2 weeks now! I have other southwestern/Mexican cookbooks, and I think this one is the best. It is very user-friendly, and the recipes are versatile. They lend themselves well to creative improvisation as well, if one is so inclined. The book does a good job of explaining some ingredients previously unknown to me, and even tells you how to cheat with canned goods, if you don't want to be a purist about "fresh mex". A great little book that packs a lot of information in it for the size and the price.
