The Best of Mexico: A Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Mexican Cookbook!!!!!!!..........
Review: ...........I purchased this cookbook a few weeks back and I've been cooking from it like crazy. I've already made a quarter or so of its forty six recipes. All of them so far have been marvelous and authentic! Each has filled my kitchen with the incredible scents of Mexican cooking like never before!

The pictures alone in this cookbook will captivate you and make you dream of visiting Oaxaca, Tula, Mexico City, Copper Canyon, and the rest of Mexico. Almost every dish sounds enticing to me and the majority of them also contain lovely photos that will make you want to start cooking even more!

Some of the recipes I've tried and would recommend: Spiced Coffee, Huevos Rancheros (topped with the Chili Tomato Sauce recipe), Pork Ribs in Green Sauce, Red Snapper with Tomatoes, Onions and Olives, Arroz Mexicana (with the Chicken Stock recipe), Refried Beans, Fried Plantains with Honey and Cream, and Tacos with Shredded Pork and Chipotles.

Some I can't wait to try: Margaritas, Salsa Verde, Empanadas with Mushrooms, Tamales with Pork and Red Chili, Chilaquiles, Flautas with Sausage, Potatoes and Chilies, Red Enchiladas with Cheese, Turkey in Chili-Chocolate Sauce, Shrimp with Garlic, Onions and Chilies, and Flan. Needless to say, I'm eager to make MOST of the recipes in this cookbook!

Righter rounds off her presentation of these wonderful Mexican dishes with an introduction that enlightens the reader on the rich history of Mexican cooking, making this a cookbook no Mexican food lover can live without!
