This review is from: The Best 125 Meatless Mexican Dishes (Paperback)

I love Mexican foods and was so happy to find this cookbook. There are both vegetarian and vegan recipes in here. The vegan ones have a notation under the title indicating that they're vegan which is nice. Most of the others can be made vegan by just replacing the cheese with a non-dairy alternative (like silk cream or soy milk or soy cheese) or leaving it out. One things that I really love about this cook book is that it has moles in it. I had been holding on to a non-veg cookbook that had some great recipes for mole but since finding this cookbook I've passed on my old cookbook. Each recipe also tells the calories, protien, fat, fiber, carbs, sodium and cholesterol.
