Format:Mass Market Paperback
Excellent recipes from all over Mexico. Easy to follow directions and explanations .
In the book she describes how she not speaking any Spanish married a UN diplomat and moved was transferred with her husband to Mexico city and how she learned to love the food and the people and explored Mexico both from cultural and regional food basis. The recipes represent the best from all the states in Mexico.
If only had one Mexican cookbook this would be the one to have. I've had my copy since the late 60's and it's almost worn out. If you buy the book take a look at one of my favorite recipes. It's Mancha Manteles de cerdo or in English Pork tablecloth stainer. It's on page 190 of my copy but the newer edition may have a different page number
Format:Mass Market Paperback
An extremely extensive cookbook in pocket book form that is terrific. The "Joy of Cooking" for mexican food. Only drawback is the lack of pictures - but then it is a pocket book... Have to buy one for my sister-in-law who wanted to keep the copy she borrowed in perpetuity. She will get her own copy for her birthday

Format:Perfect Paperback
Please reprint I need a new one! My book is falling apart because it is used so much! Every recipe I have tried has been a success. Try the stuffed turkey the next time you cook one, what a filling
