Review for Cuisines of the World: Mexico by Julia Fernandez
By Dora Almanza on January 9, 2011
This book features the best flavors of Mexican cuisine beautifully introduced. The pictures are tempting and the recipes and instructions although in Spanish, are easy to follow. The it is rare to find truly authentic recipes such as these. Many of the recipes such as "squash blossoms", "nopalitos" or "frijoles borrachos" were passed down from generations and make use of simple and natural ingredients, as do most of the recipes, as do all the recipes in this book. I treasure my copy, and don't let it out of my sight! | | |||
