Cuisines of Hidden Mexico: A Culinary Journey to Guerrero and Michoacan

Rating:
Summary: Some strange, many wonderful recipes with fun travel stories
Review: "Cuisines of Hidden Mexico" is at first, a fun travelogue with the authors driving all around Mexico, telling colorful tales of the pople they meet along the way. The travelers have adventurous tastes as they sample various delicacies such as insects, iguana and other funky critters that are too daring for most tastes!

As for the recipes themselves, there are several excellent ideas for just about anyone who wishes to try something different whether it's appetizers, main courses, salsas or desserts. My particular favorite is the "burnt chipotle salsa", which is out of this world. Once you try it, you'll be hooked for life.

A fun book with some good recipes you'll never get anywhere else.

Review: If you want to read how a group from Chicago made a PBS documentary (which I haven't seen), this is your book! The recipes are not part of "Hidden Mexico". And there aren't many of them.
