This book is the real enchilada,
By A Customer
This review is from: The San Antonio TEX-MEX Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
If you're from Texas (and I am), you know that the best Mexican food in the state(if not the world) is from San Antonio. There are plenty of nouveau yuppie chefs in places like Dallas or Santa Fe that will tell you how to make bleau cheese queso and wheat flour tortilla chips but hey- su madre never made it that way. The San Antonio Tex-Mex Cookbook skips the fancy new stuff but has all real food you grew up with if you're from South Texas. The tortilla soup is as good as my grandmother's. My only criticism is the margarita recipe-two of those things will put the most macho on the floor. If you're an expatriate Texan and can't get to La Fogata or Mi Tierra yourself, this is your survival manual.

Delicious, subtle to spicy and not for calorie counters,

This review is from: The San Antonio TEX-MEX Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
I was in San Antonio for the first time recently, and discovered this thing called Tex-Mex cuisine. Why I didn't get the book when I was there, I don't know, but I couldn't stop thinking about all the great dishes I had when I was there. I have tried several recipes from this book and they are wonderful...the fideo pasta dish, avocado soup, cucumber salad and mango salad. The dishes accomodate light to hearty appetites, and the quantities make it easy to plan for entertaining guests. If you want a break from the usual, pick this one up.

Cute and Good,
By Chad Phillips (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The San Antonio TEX-MEX Cookbook (Spiral-bound)
This book has a cutesy cover and illustrations that make it a great gift for Mom or Aunt Sally. Despite this light-hearted appearance, the book has some great recipes for the serious cook. San Antonio really does have its own style of Mexican food and authentic recipes are very hard to find. This book seems to have most of them. I really liked the mole recipe.
