Cantina was the first cook book in the Casual Cusine series that I purchased, and of all my many cookbooks, it is the one that I use most often. The Beer BatteredShrimp with Chipolte-Honey Sauce has quickly become a family and party favorite as have the Sea Bass Ceviche with Lime and Cilantro and the Chiles Rellenos. Our friends have been known to invite themselves over for dinner and they usually request that I make these dishes.

The book is laid out with simple-to- follow recipies and corresponding, beautifully shot photos of each dish. Just add a secluded tropical beach with Mariachi music in the background, someone else to do the dishes, and you've got your own little piece of heaven.

This little book is packed with interesting and unique Mexican recipes that have minimal ingredients but pack tremendous flavor!

This book is easy to use and the recipes can be as complex or as simple as you're in the mood for. And I don't know about you but I like a well illustrated cookbook.
I recommend the whole series of them!
