Gourmet Tortillas: Exotic and Traditional Tortilla Dishes

Rating:
Summary: Great new recipes, but....
Review: Actually I was expecting a lot more from this book, but it is a good enough book. I have been cooking for 20+ years now and making my own tortillas for 10 (my grandmother taught me). By the way, I am a native of México. So far, GrandMa's recipe is the best and gives better results than the master recipe in this book. But, still, I have to hand it to Ms. Howarth, that her innovative add -ons yield very nice new flavors to an old recipe.
It is probably worth more by the recipes for the fillings that are very interesting, with very simple instructions to make a tortilla happy.
