From the introduction to the index, this book is a delight to devour! The recipes are totally accessible and fabulously delicious. I can't wait to work my way through the book--which I plan to do this summer! This is a perfect gift for someone who likes to entertain, or someone who collects cookbooks--the photos and design are also beautiful. This is the perfect FIESTA book!

I loved this book. It got me fabulous response from two dinner parties.

Everyone loved the Yellow fin tuna Coconut Ceviche. and the Grilled Steak with Chorizo Hash Browns. Rave reviews from everyone.Thanks.

Yea this is a great book with great recipes if you can afford the VERY EXPENSIVE cuts of meat and seafood these recipes call for. ALmost every other recipe called for Lobster! Lots of Shrimp (which is not THAT expensive) recipes too but a few called for Filet Mignon!! I suppose you could substitute them with Chicken/Beef or other seafoods, but I'm curious as to whom this book was intended for? I am assuming the very rich. If you want to spend Alot of money on a "Fiesta" party--(which i doubt most people do) then this book is for you but for those of us who are on a budget i would suggest looking elsewhere for more realstic Latin recipes.

I just bought this book and I love the unusual and different ingredients suggested. Check out the Black Quinoa and Sweet Plantain Shrimp Salad. Sounds yummy and the presentation fun.

This is not a simple book for someone who is looking to have fun latin Recipes at their party. These are more gourmet recipes. If you are lookinf for a funy idea for partys try " Latin Chic" the recipes are better and easier. If you are looking for "gourmet latin" this is for you.
