Sorry to hear that this book is not currently available! It's a wonderful introduction to Mexican Cooking. All of the recipes are incredibly simple, authentic and delicious! This book makes a great wedding/ housewarming gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, May 5, 2006
This is a classic on Mexican cooking, with first and second printings in 1958. Recipes and instructions are succinct, and there is little or no commentary on the dishes or their background.

I give this 4 stars, as Diana Kennedy's "The Cuisines of Mexico", published in 1972, has become a more definitive source of Mexican recipes. Kennnedy's book also has simple recipes, and also has superb hints on cooking, and gives a wonderful running commentary on the origin of the dishes, and suggestions on how to serve the dish. Kennedy's also has photographs.

Newer books by Bayless and others have come forth since 1972, however both Zelayeta's and Kennedy's books have stood the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Treasure, January 28, 2000
By A Customer
Take it from someone who has spent time searching for Mexican Cook Books that offer simple authentic Mexican recipies. This book offers anything from the familiar dishes, holiday pastries and breads, to the more exotic dishes. Each recipe includes comments from the author, providing tips and background on history of the recipe. I only wish this book were more accesible.
