Welcome to the REAL Mexican Flavor!!

As a Mexican living in Upstate NY, far away from the mexican border where products are easily found, I consider myself lucky to keep my mexican cooking the best I can with what I find at hand.
Half of the recipes in this book are part of my family heritage and half of them I didn't know how to prepare because they are from all over Mexico (I'm from Mexico City) and I bought this book with great delight because the front cover reminded me one of the usual mexican scenes inside a family.
Once at home, I couldn't stop reading all the recipes and the details that the author gives to picture each and every dish. The stories of other families living in the US are warming and also reminded me lots of precious moments I spent with my mother watching her cooking. Thanks to her I know what I know about cooking and thanks to Marilyn Tausend I will be able to reproduce some of the recipes I didn't care to pay attention to when my mother prepared them (which I deeply regret now) as well as trying new dishes from other parts of my country.
If you want to experience the REAL Mexican Cuisine buy the book, it really does worth it. You will be introduced to the fascinating world of my food, the one that warms the heart, heals the soul and keeps people together and in touch.
Marilyn, you did a GREAT job, thanks for caring this much. This book will be always with me along with my mother's recipes.

Tastes like home!

After living in California and Arizona all my life, I recently moved to the Midwest and have been homesick for all my favorite foods. This cookbook came to the rescue! The recipes are easy to follow, even the complicated ones, and they taste just like I remember. I made my first tamales for Christmas Eve and they were a huge success!

Best Mexican Cookbook on the market!

I've tried them all, being that my significant other is from Mexico, I'm always looking for true, traditional Mexican recipes and this book is it! Truly the best I've seen!!! Excellent explainations of each dish, its origens, and how to serve it. I highly reccommend it!

This is simply what I think a good cookbook should be. I have two problems with most cookbooks. I often find they contain a few great recipes but many that I don't want to try so the book just takes up space on the shelf. The second problem is some have great recipes that are too time consuming. I was attracted to this book at a local bookshop by the number of recipes that were appealing and have not been disappointed. We have tried about 8 so far, and 5 were outstanding. Most are easy and relatively quick. In addition to recipes for standard favorite mexican dishes there are a number of surprises. Chicken in a Red Sauce of Pumpkin Seed and Dried Corn was great. Very surprising,unique flavors. I also liked Three-Days-in-the-Making Beef Burritos although we did soft tacos with this instead. Chicken in a Piquant Tomato Sauce was also excellent.
