5.0 out of 5 starsHot tamale! Love this cookbook and it's fresh approach.
By Debra Golden on April 14, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Pati Jinich’s first book sits on my counter and I refer to it often and was very excited for her second to be released. I have not been disappointed. The recipes are fresh and exciting, truly mixing past and present with both ingredients, historical perspectives and a true sensibility of the way people eat today.
I love the format of the recipes. They are clearly written with the prep time, cook time and make ahead option listed up front, which makes for easy planning. I read another reviewer who said the ingredients were hard to find, and while some might be depending on where you live, there are alternatives listed. I live in a city and have not had any trouble locating ingredients for the recipes I’ve tried.
The frequent sections of “Cook’s Tips” are filled with useful tidbits of advice. I cook often, but rarely go out on a limb and away from what I’m comfortable with. Pati Jinich makes me want to try different recipes and ingredients I never thought of. Her voice when telling the short stories that top each recipe are entertaining and fun to read, often including family anecdotes and entertaining moments. The large colorful blocks of information scattered throughout the book that discuss ingredients, methods, techniques and background information are visually exciting, educational, and often, a little bit sassy!
I love the photography, the color choices and the idea that Mexican food can join any other type of food we make and enhance it. A true fusion of foods across our cultural kitchens. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis cookbook is beautifully laid out
By Tamara Belt on April 14, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Pati Jinich has once again brought Mexican food into my house in such a pleasing way! This cookbook is beautifully laid out, with gorgeous photos and recipes that look mouth-watering (I haven't tried them yet, but have ear-marked many pages). I'm already a fan because I have her first cookbook that is stained and beaten up by over-use, and am excited to try some of her new recipes such as the drunken rice with chicken and chorizo or the tuna tataki tostadas. What I like about her cookbooks is that the recipes are creative, but don't require a million ingredients that can only be found at specialty stores. Also, the taco section in this new book is thorough. Pati has put her mark on the traditional recipes and has also come up with some new combinations. I can't wait to try the plantain tacos with walnut, pepita and sunflower seed crunch. If you want to cook authentic Mexican cuisine, I urge you to try some of Pati's recipes, you will do your taste buds a favor.

5.0 out of 5 starsA wonderful addition to her 1st endeavor
By Leslie on April 21, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Simple and authentic Mexican recipes. As good, if not better than her first book; with easy to find ingredients. Cilantro can replace epazote for example. Most chiles and chile pastes can now be bought in Mexican stores in your area; unless there aren't any Mexican communities near you. Then order online; they are available. And, did I say delicious ! ? Try her simple black beans and use cilantro if epazote is not available. That's what I did and they came out perfect and with an indescribable flavor. When I reheated them the next day, the perfume of the cilantro lessened so i added a whole jalapeño to the pot and slowly brought the beans up to slow boil. Not hot, just a delicious extra flavor added to the pot of black beans. Buen provecho!

5.0 out of 5 starsI am in love with Pati Jinich and her show
By Tom on July 7, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am in love with Pati Jinich and her show, she is delightful. Her energy, personality, stories and cooking always make me smile and want to eat Mexican food. I read that that this is for the modern kitchen and do find a wide assortment of practical recipes that can be easily made. I am a serious cook and I will search out any ingredients I need to have. Patti suggests some items that can now be found in a lot of major food stores, but also let's you know that you can work around not having something on hand.

I don't know if you have looked up this woman's background, she comes from the business world and her credential are quite impressive. I have a hundred cookbooks, and use many of them beside e-books. This book has been my return to real print on paper pages cookbook. What a relief. If you watch her shows you will not be disappointed. If you haven't you haven’t, you might want to check her out on public television. I have found out that she will be giving a talk and cooking demo in my area and will bring this book in for her autograph. I feel like a kid again. What can I say, I like Mexican food, and as I mentioned, I am in love with this woman, because she is practical, down to earth and has great simple recipes. Hope this helps you.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's a must have in every kitchen
By Diana Moss on May 2, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I LOVE everything about this book, from the presentation, the pictures, the colors, the design but mostly the way the recipes are written. It’s very easy to follow and includes great stories, tips and variations. Every recipe I’ve done has come out great!
As a Mexican living in the US, this book allows me to feel close to my roots and at the same time be able to take a contemporary approach to the traditional cuisine that I grew up with. This book is so authentic and innovative that makes it a MUST have in every kitchen. I highly recommend it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best Mexican cookbook on the market today.
By A E Blanc on May 23, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am the proud owner of Pati's Mexican Kitchen, I use her recipes frequently. So when I learned the second book was to be released, I immediately ordered pre publication. I was not disappointed when Mexican Today arrived. My friend ordered one as well and we are currently cooking our way through the book.
We live in Mexico and find the pride and enthusiasm that Patti exhibits in her stories and recipes is so indicative of the Mexican people. If you love Mexican food, then you need both of Patti's books.
