Hey, I have this book! I bought this book about a year ago because I purchased 2 other cookbooks from this publisher, Wei-Chuan, and I really like the way the cookbooks are presented. My friends always laugh at me when I tell them about this book ... but this is a good - How to cook Mexican cuisine - from a Chinese publisher! The instructions are fairly good and the steps are simple ... like a lab experiment, but tastier! I've tried the delicious rice, and chicken enchiladas recipes and they're great. Of course, you can also improvise by taking spices from one recipe and using it with another recipe. Half of my problem is that I don't know what ingredients to use and this book really helps.

I encourage you to try this book and other books from the publisher Wei-Chuan.

We brought this book with us on our annual two-week trip to Mexico. We have tried Mexican cookbooks before, but so many of them had lengthy directions, obscure foods, and few photos. This one has what we consider to be the best of all worlds -- basic ingredients, easy instructions, photos of not only the finished product but of the ingredients, and a non-scary thickness of about 1/4 inch with plastic-encased cover. The book is in both Spanish and English, so if we could not find an ingredient, we could point to the word for that food. We saved loads of pesos by bringing this outstanding book with us and cooking for ourselves, and all of the recipes were delicious. Our travel-mates have now bought one as well. Look at this book before you look at any others.

This is a handy cookbook. It's relatively short, but packed with good recipes and nice color pictures. In many cases, it has seperate recipes for the sauces, preparing the meats, and then putting it together. I thought it would be labor intensive, but instead I've found it inspiring me to try out new combinations.

So far I've had a REALLY good success rate with the recipes in this book. Everything I've made has exceeded my expectations, and NONE have been difficult. This book doesn't go for glossiness - it goes for authenticity. At least that's what I make of it.

This is a great cookbook! My husband loves the pork stew. The fried ice cream is awesome! My family has enjoyed many of these recipes. I also have bought 5 copies over the years to give to friends as gifts!

The recipes are basic mexican cooking even a beginner can understand and follow. Excellent book!

This book has authentic recipes that are very simple to make and very tasty too. I am Mexican and I am used to traditional Mexican cuisine made from recipes my family has passed on for years, but I am always looking for new recipes. The recipes in this book will become regulars on my table. I truly recommend this book to all type of cooks and for those who want to change the menu a bit.

Pertfect title for this cookbook. I was able to go to my local grocery store to buy all the ingredients I needed to make any of these recipes. My daugther is taking spanish in school and she is having FUN preparing some of these easy step by step recipes too!

I have enjoyed using this book. The sell was very prompt, delivering the book in just a few days after ordering.

great cookbook with yummy recipes and pictures to help you see what it will look like when you're done cooking it!
