Kippy Nigh's book provides an interesting view into the healthy side of Mexican cuisine with recipes that are appealing to anyone's palate, vegetarian or not. Of course, it is written in Spanish and the measurements are metric so that may put a crimp in the ease of reading if your brain is not fine-tuned in both. There are several wonderfully easy recipes for anyone who entertains Mexican guests---agua de horchata, agua de jamaica, and yummy atoles. There are also clever recipes that incorporate tofu and chile sauces. This book was recommended to me by an expert native Mexican chef which testifies to its authenticity and "buen sabor", good flavor---the touchstone and measuring stick to a Mexican and anyone else for that matter. I recommend the book to anyone who reads Spanish and desires help in learning some of the basics of Mexican cuisine, a cuisine that rathers naturally incorporates vegetarian principles.

I didn't really like this book... they are not as simple as I thought they would be nor are all the ingredients easily accessible.
