5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cookbook in my house since 1979!!!, December 18, 2005

I am not a gourmet cook, but I like to eat good food. This little cookbook has less than 100 pages, but presents approximately 300 delicious, authentic Mexican recipes that are very easy to prepare. Nothing is complicated and the pictures are nice. None of the recipes take more than an hour to prepare.

No overload of information. If you want to serve good Mexican meals that go beyond burritos, beans and rice, then this is for you. My husband is from Guanajuato, Mexico and these recipes have consistently pleased him. The meatball soup, Pollo de Augascalients, and chicken in peanut sauce are some of our particular favorites.

I have been using this cookbook since 1979. If you love to cook, or are already an above-average cook who is well-versed in Mexican cuisine, this cookbook may be too simplistic. Otherwise, this is it!

I would like to find more cookbooks in this particular series, such as Russian, Indian and Italian.

I have owned this book for 30 years, and was heartbroken to have lost it. That was because I loaned it out so many times!! Fortunately I found this copy. The Mexican chicken soup recipe is our family's favorite, and we have also enjoyed many appetizer recipes. This book is a great find.
