Format:Paperback
This book is just what I wanted. After an introduction to Mexico, the way of life, culture and cooking techniques, it's straight in there with some lovely mouth watering dishes. The photography is very good, especially as the photos are not just of the food but of the people and scenery of Mexico too. You get to feel the atmosphere of the place, as you cook your chilli!!!! It's interesting to read about the different versions of chilli con carne too. Starters, soups, meats and deserts are covered. Excellent, a worthy addition to the bookshelf.
One minor point is the text is quite small, so if your eyesight is poor even with glasses/contacts then maybe it is not for you. In computer terms it is font size 8 or 9 i would say. Don't let this put you off too much as it really is a nice little book.

Very disappointed although I can not complain for the price . However, when a basic guacamole recipe doesn't even include fresh lime Or lemon juice (even when only just to stop the avocado from turning black, not to mention the wonderful correlation of flavour together with the fresh coriander ), then I have to wonder about the recipies which were painfully basic and completely uninspiring . I will not be keeping this book. Sorry.
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book to get ideas for creating a Mexican dinner party menu. I was not disappointed, I have tried 5 recipes so far and have loved everything! The instructions are clear, most recipes are illustrated and a prefacing section on ingredients allows you to tailor recipes to what you can buy in the local shops. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone but don't keep it on the shelf, keep it in the kitchen!
