Mexico: The Cookbook

The book arrived before the expected date of delivery was in amazing condition. Well packed in bubble wraps. Really excited to go through it.

This book is laid out so beautifully inside and out - split into sections for meat, fish, street-food etc...it's super easy to navigate, and all the recipes are so simple and flavourful. If you're looking for a say a quesadilla, they have numerous recipes within the same section, so you can flick through and choose one based on the ingredients you have on hand. Theres quite a lot of comments on the lack of photos, I've cooked quite a few recipes without a reference image, and they came out delicious - I think this book even for beginners is going to make you trust you intuition, and who cares what it looks like if it tastes good! Well worth the money, highly highly recommend.

Hermoso libro de recetas de cocina mexicana... ideal para un regalo a alguien que ame la cocina, o bien para tenerlo en casa como uno de tus libros favoritos que ademas da gusto compartir con tus visitas e invitados. Este libro alcanza, a mi modo de ver, el rubro de "libros de arte".

681 pages of information, recipes, photo's. Just got it today and more then happy. Looking forward to going through the book and trying out the recipes. Looks like a fantastic must have for the kitchen.

My daughter has this book. Every time I saw it, i would thumb through it and be amazed by the quality of the book yes, but more so for the plethora of recipes! The author says: "when I cook Mexican food, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the cuisine, it makes me feel very proud that the food is sophisticated, the flavours refined, ingredients fresh and nutritious." So many that are unknown!. You will be amazed by the simplicity of the ingredients and easiness of execution. It is an encyclopedia of mexican cuisine at its best!The photos are delectable! Gorgeous presentations. Margarita Carrillo Arronte first sets us the presentation of the culture, the places like: The Food of Mesoamerica. Wonderful, wonder full discovery through history and places of Mexican food. It's a winner 10o%

Het boek ziet er prachtig uit en bevat veel verschillende Mexicaanse recepten. Als naslagwerk of koffietafelboek is het zeker mooi om te hebben. De recepten zelf vielen mij alleen wat tegen. Ik mis regelmatig extra uitleg over technieken, ingrediënten en waarom bepaalde stappen op een bepaalde manier worden gedaan. Daardoor voelen sommige recepten wat oppervlakkig aan, zeker als je echt meer over de Mexicaanse keuken wilt leren. Mooi boek om doorheen te bladeren, maar puur voor de recepten zou ik het zelf niet nog een keer kopen.
