loved the photos
very authenice
spent some time in tulum, this was a great mkeepsake of the trip.

Wife bought this book for me for Christmas, im all about everything Maya so even if it was bad id still love it. Alot of variety of different foods and drinks. If your in love with the Yucatan your sure to love this book also.

A food rich in flavor to begin with, but taking on the best traits of other traditions of cuisine - Spanish, French, Asian, Caribbean, and so many more - it's one way to describe the food of the Maya. "Mayan Cuisine: Recipes From the Yucatan Region" is a look at the delectable food of the Mayan people, with step by step guides and full color photos to help one emulate the authentic Mayan flavor in their own kitchen. With Dishes like: Meat-and-Rice Stuffed Leaves, Tamale Pie, Yucatan Breakfast Sausages, and more, "Mayan Cuisine: Recipes From the Yucatan Region" is a must for any ethnic cookbook shelf or for anyone looking for a different taste to sink their teeth into.

This is an excellent book, well researched and well written. A valuable contribution to the discovery of genuine Mexican cuisine. Was shipped promptly and well packaged. Thanks.

I was delighted to find this book that had several recipes I've been looking for - Pavo en escabeche and Pavo Negro. We used to enjoy these at a family restaurant in Pasadena (CA) that disappeared. Most Mexican cookbooks do not include Yucatec Maya recipes - which these are.
The directions are easy to understand, and he gives alternative ingredients for not commonly found ones. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for some rich and spicy dishes (chili heat can be adjusted for taste).
