Product Description
Synopsis
In an easy-to-follow format, this book provides handy background and travel information about Mexico and some of its ruins before dipping into the ninety-one recipes included here, organised according to meal course. There are recipes that will suit most everyone's palate, from sauces and salsas to soups and sausages; from vegetarian and meat appetisers and main dishes to simple drinks and desserts. Each section begins with a brief description of the course and the types of food involved. The recipes are clear and easy to understand -- one need not be a trained chef with a vast kitchen to create a tasty Yucatecan meal.

Very informative,
By
This review is from: Foods of the Maya: A Taste of the Yucatan (Paperback)
I visited the Yucatan a few yeas ago and I fell in love with the local cuisine. I bought this book a few months ago - along with another Mayan cookbook - and I have to say that it's a nice little book for the money. It's not illustrated but it contains a ton of information about the Mayans and their culture. I've only tried one of the recipes from this book so far, but I do intend to try more soon. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in Mayan cooking.

A highly recommended sampler of Yucatan cuisine,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Foods of the Maya: A Taste of the Yucatan (Paperback)
Foods Of The Maya is a highly recommended sampler of Yucatan cuisine that will intrigue any who enjoy regional cookbooks. Foods Of The Maya focuses on local versions of Mayan cooking, from Garlic Pork with Rice and Black Beans to an orange juice/allspice seasoned Motul Chicken. No photos, but the recipes don't need them.

University of New Mexico Press: Shame on You!,
By Christian M. Randolph - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Foods of the Maya: A Taste of the Yucatan (Paperback)
If this is the little book published by The University of New Mexico Press, well, I have never in 70 years read a more poorly written book. Apparently the U. of NM Press DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PROOFING OR CHECKING DATA FOR CORRECTNESS. Within 20 minutes of opening this book and flipping through it, I found over 35 mistakes and ridiculous entries, i.e., non-existent food names. How can you trust such a poorly written/edited book to provide you with accurate recipes?
If you are foolish enough to try out ANY of these recipes, you do so at your peril! I contacted The Press and they brushed me off - so............. Christian Randolph |
