Review
Everything from soup to dessert is in this book, authentically Mexican and presented to make the foods preparation in a modem American kitchen easy and successful. Ortiz's introduction shares both her respect for Mexico and its food and her sense of fun which deserves to be a part of cooking and eating Mexican cuisine."

"A comprehensive sampling of authentic Mexican cuisine... There also is a list of stores where Mexican ingredients and cooking utensils can be purchased either directly or by mail."

Best Mexican cookbook I have,
By
This review is from: Complete Book of Mexican Cooking (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent recipes from all over Mexico. Easy to follow directions and explanations .In the book she describes how she not speaking any Spanish married a UN diplomat and moved was transferred with her husband to Mexico city and how she learned to love the food and the people and explored Mexico both from cultural and regional food basis. The recipes represent the best from all the states in Mexico. If only had one Mexican cookbook this would be the one to have. I've had my copy since the late 60's and it's almost worn out. If you buy the book take a look at one of my favorite recipes. It's Mancha Manteles de cerdo or in English Pork tablecloth stainer. It's on page 190 of my copy but the newer edition may have a different page number

Great book with lots of content,
By gwtaylo@ibm.net (Gordon Taylor, Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Mexican Cooking (Mass Market Paperback)
An extremely extensive cookbook in pocket book form that is terrific. The "Joy of Cooking" for mexican food. Only drawback is the lack of pictures - but then it is a pocket book... Have to buy one for my sister-in-law who wanted to keep the copy she borrowed in perpetuity. She will get her own copy for her birthday

Fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Mexican Cooking (Paperback)
Please reprint I need a new one! My book is falling apart because it is used so much! Every recipe I have tried has been a success. Try the stuffed turkey the next time you cook one, what a filling
