Product Description
Product Description
Americans have at last discovered Mexico's passion for exciting food. We've fallen in love with the great Mexican combination of rich, earthy flavors and casual, festive dining. But we don't begin to imagine how sumptuous and varied the cooking of Mexico really is.
After ten years of loving exploration, Rick Bayless, together with his wife, Deann, gave us Authentic Mexican, this now classic, easy-to-use compendium of our southern neighbor's cooking.
This all-embracing cookbook offers the full range of dishes, from poultry, meat, fish, rice, beans, and vegetables to eggs, snacks made of corn masa, tacos, turnovers, enchiladas and their relatives, tamales, and moles, ending with desserts, sweets, and beverages. There are irresistible finger foods such as Yucatecan marinated shrimp tacos and crispy cheese-filled masa turnovers; spicy corn chowder and chorizo sausage with melted cheese will start off a special dinner; you will find mole poblano, charcoal-grilled pork in red-chile adobo, and marinated fish steamed in banana leaves for those times when you want to celebrate; and exotic ice creams, caramel custards, and pies to top off any meal. There's even a section devoted to refreshing coolers, rich chocolate drinks, and a variety of tequila-laced cocktails.
The master recipes feature all the pointers you'll need for re-creating genuine Mexican textures and flavors in a North American kitchen. Menu suggestions and timing and advance-preparation tips make these dishes perfectly convenient for today's working families. And traditional and contemporary variations accompany each recipe, allowing the cook to substitute and be creative.
Rick and Deann Bayless traveled more than thirty-five thousand miles investigating the six distinct regions of Mexico and learning to prepare what they found. From town to town, recipe by recipe, they personally introduce you to Mexico's cooks, their kitchens, their markets, and their feasts.
If, like the rest of us, you have a growing love for Mexican food, the reliable recipes in this book and the caring, personal presentation by Rick and Deann Bayless will provide meal after meal of pure pleasure for your family and friends.

This is by far the best for "authentic" tasting recipies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Authentic Mexican. Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico (Hardcover)
Many Mexican cookbooks provide good recepies, but the flavors seem to be "americanized". After traveling south of the boader numerous times, I have begun to appreciate the real/authentic flavors much more. This book is by far the best on the market for this! I highly recommend it.

Excellent in every way!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Authentic Mexican. Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico (Hardcover)
Excellent cookbook. The recipes are the best I've ever found on true Mexican cooking. There is a restaurant in Chicago owed and operated by the authors of this book. You must check it out if you're ever in Chicago.
The cookbook itself is extremely easy to follow. It provides very useful sidebar comments on practical tips and regional variations. This helps make this cookbook a dream!
If you're looking for a Mexican cookbook, there's no better one to be found.
