Recetas Magnificas,
By A Customer
This review is from: False tongues and Sunday bread: A Guatemalan and Mayan cookbook (Hardcover)
This is a fabulous, very authentic cookbook, covering Central America and the Yucatan. It is truely a wonder. The recipes bring back fond memories to my husband who is Salvadoran. Very traditional favorites. This book is out of print and extremely hard to find. I found mine at the public library. It appears I was the only one taking it out. In fact I took it out so many times that I asked the librarian if they would be willing to sell it to me. I think the book spent more time in my kitchen than in the library. The librarian gave it to me for almost nothing and in exchange I made a donation to the book fund. (There is one other copy in the South Central Wisconsin Library system so others can still check it out). If you love comida tipica, this book is for you. Don't hesitate to pick up a used copy here from Amazon... It is well worth the investment! Buen provecho. Saludos a Copeland Marks.

A culture translated,

This review is from: False Tongues and Sunday Bread: A Guatemalan and Mayan Cookbook (Mass Market Paperback)
If you at all enjoy experimenting with new recipes, and learning of a new culture in the process, this is an excellent book. Each recipe is from the indigenous Mayan Indians of southern Mexico and Guatemala. Marks does an excellant job of bringing their culture into our world. These are recipes not previously ever recorded for the outside world, but passed from generation down. If ingredients are difficult to find, Marks experimented enough in his NY apartment, to find a useable, yet easy-to-find substitute, with similar results. Many of these dishes I have eaten in Guatemala, and the recipes result in that same familuar and culturally appropriate flavor. Great book!

This review is from: False Tongues and Sunday Bread: A Guatemalan and Mayan Cookbook (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book after I had moved to States from Guatemala in the 90's. It was a God's sent. At the time, I didn't know how to cook anything. I found the recipes easy to follow and the flavors were right on. Copeland Marks goes into great detail about different ingredients and how to get them here in the USA, this section is at the beginning of the book. I was sad that the book could not be found for a while since it was out of print. A lot of my friends wanted one... Now, I have been telling them that they can buy it. It is an absolutely treasure to me.
