I just received my copy of Scott Wilson's book Tacos, and I am absolutely delighted. I am a good cook who loves cooking authentic Mexican food. I am drooling. This book will add depth and dimension to my taco skills. Wilson's pursuit of taco truck cuisine and home style Mexican food is very similar to my own love affair the food of Mexico.

I love tacos and this book gives you some fresh and new ideas on them as well as colorful pics. All Yum Here.

Great book with many wonderful ideas for one of my favorite foods - TACOS! What this book does is put the gears in motion where you realize that you can put just about anything inside a flour or corn tortilla with the right dressings and have a wonderful eating experience!

Thank you, Scott Wilson! We live in Seattle where the Mexican food is just bad. There is no lack of taco trucks and we have tried about a dozen of them at this point, but we are always disappointed. I am picky and spoiled after traveling in Mexico and spending a lot of time eating at great Mexican restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area. This book has given my husband and I the power to make great Mexican food at home (we have pretty good luck finding all the ingredients here). We have made most of the salsas and are really enjoying cooking with the different types of peppers. This is a great book - you can't find recipes like this on the internet!

i am a lover of cookbooks, and this one caught my eye! I love the in-depth recipes, the "taco tips" and the outcome of all the tacos i have made from the book so far! thank you Mr. Wilson for sharing your culinary knowledge with us! I also did a search on the internet on this book and found the website [...], a great companion site to the book!

tacos drove me nuts when i was a kid.. parents worked on mailny as hired hands on dude ranches through the west and i, precocious and hungfry most of th etime as a ten year old and then a teen ager who developed years beofre my classmates, frequently shacked up in the tack shop with the farm hands so i hand a natural hakering for old mexi style cooking ,, chiles and beef sauted carnes asads,. .. the heavy beef ones i grew up on and not the crinchy restraunt types. So last week, working long haul trucking 1-5 to spokane the acorss to montana. Picked up a young dreddy hich hikeroutside of eugene oregon,natually this gals hungry as she is stinky and we talk taco the whole ride up I-5.went sinky got got out on burnside in portland she threw this tatered TACO book at me, said check out page 36. i was up all night trying recipes and messing with trying to find the ingdediants at 3a.m. I was amped form my night shift.. long haul and didnt roll into my brown stone till 3 a.m. Ended up playin with all these recipes and remembering my vagabone days gone by, -through mexico- mainly but an ode to the ranches of my parents past ... by the time the sunrose like liquid fire , right out and staight up over washintons glorious puget sound, i'd made six recipes and faked a couple others, wherein I didt have the right ingrediants.. counldnt find them till later that day. And that when When the kids popped in expected and hungry after a B.C. bud confernce down from Vancoover theh ate the whole mess and came up looking for more hotsuace. And then just like claockwork, the sun sizzled back down and set herself back into puget sound as gentle and firery gold as she rose.
