Lonely Planet could do better,
By Nancy Sebastian (NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food Mexico (Paperback)
Since I've relied on Lonely Planet books to travel around Mexico and South America, I thought this book would give me a real "inside" look at the food of Mexico. I was definitely disappointed. It doesn't contain any information that I didn't already know from traveling in Mexico and reading Mexican cookbooks. In fact some of the information it did give was wrong - for instance, Salsa Verde is not made with Green Tomatoes - It's made with Tomatillos -a totally different fruit.

A splendid introduction to Mexican food, travel & history.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food Mexico (Paperback)
Lonely Planet World Food Mexico is the first guide to provide an introduction to Mexican travel and history through a focus on the food and drink of Mexican regions, pairing a culinary dictionary and focus on regional specialties with travel advice. The combination places this pocket tote somewhere between travel and cook book, but will prove especially delightful to food fans - and with its useful built-in dictionary and phrase book, essential to independent travelers.

Hot Donitas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food Mexico (Paperback)
Useful phrases for drunken apologies and much more, does not do justice to the colorful books in the new series, World Food, from the Lonely Planet guidebook people. These are pocket-size books, brimming with food history, folkways, the inside scoop on menu deciphering, food markets, and restaurants as well as excellent overviews of the culture behind the cuisine of each country visited. Couch Potato-down with the 11-book series at home, or toss the one on Mexico in your pack and go find the hottest donitas in Mexico City.
