Mexican Cooking Made Easy

We brought this book with us on our annual two-week trip to Mexico. We have tried Mexican cookbooks before, but so many of them had lengthy directions, obscure foods, and few photos. This one has what we consider to be the best of all worlds -- basic ingredients, easy instructions, photos of not only the finished product but of the ingredients, and a non-scary thickness of about 1/4 inch with plastic-encased cover. The book is in both Spanish and English, so if we could not find an ingredient, we could point to the word for that food. We saved loads of pesos by bringing this outstanding book with us and cooking for ourselves, and all of the recipes were delicious. Our travel-mates have now bought one as well. Look at this book before you look at any others.

I have enjoyed using this book. The sell was very prompt, delivering the book in just a few days after ordering.

So far I've had a REALLY good success rate with the recipes in this book. Everything I've made has exceeded my expectations, and NONE have been difficult. This book doesn't go for glossiness - it goes for authenticity. At least that's what I make of it.

This is a great cookbook! My husband loves the pork stew. The fried ice cream is awesome! My family has enjoyed many of these recipes. I also have bought 5 copies over the years to give to friends as gifts!

This is a handy cookbook. It's relatively short, but packed with good recipes and nice color pictures. In many cases, it has seperate recipes for the sauces, preparing the meats, and then putting it together. I thought it would be labor intensive, but instead I've found it inspiring me to try out new combinations.
