Review

'Mexican food is one of the world's great cuisines and there is no one I'd rather read on the subject than Tommi. I love her writing and the recipes in this book are wonderful too' 

(Tom Parker Bowles, Market Kitchen )

'When I read this book I wanted to cook from it immediately ... then jump on a plane to Oaxhaca. Colourful and inviting, full of scrummy-looking and achievable recipes, it's for anyone who likes their food vibrant, healthy and ballsy...just like the author!'

(Allegra McEvedy )

'A world away from Tex-Mex sizzling fajitas with cheesy nachos, Thomasina Miers, former MasterChef champ and Wahaca restaurant founder, is bringing a large slice of genuine Mexico to the mainstream'

(Delicious )

'Perfect for summer, this book from the MasterChef 2005 winner is full of easy flavourful recipes.' (BBC Good Food Magazine )

'A great introduction to the breadth of real Mexican cooking, which goes way beyond the Tex-Mex cliches.' (Delicious )

Ordered this on a whim, and im so pleased I did.

Tommie makes everything sound incredible, but she has also made everything as anglo-friendly as she can, knowing that authenticity is useless if the ingredients cant be found. OK, so im struggling to get some of the ingredients locally, but there is a handy guide to local, national and web retailers we can use.

She has really helpful guides to how to assemble burritos, quesidillas etc, has the most mind blowingly fantastic chile con carne recipe, shows how to make simple, no-fuss salsas and guacamole, has idiot proof guides to making fantastic margaritas, and all in all has me hooked on mexican cuisine.

This book is on rotation between my living room and kitchen as I plan and cook my way through it. It makes you realise the tex-mex dinner kits and sauce sachets have left us all ignorant for how intricate and delicious this food truly is.

Practical, brilliantly written and intoxicating, this is a book that will be used, not just another shelf filler. I couldn't recommend it enough.

I got this book after watching a couple of episodes that the book is based on. It's absolutely smashing, I didn't realise Mexican food could be prepared so simply and healthy. A lot of the food is prepared in a dry pan, so none of the food is oily or greasy. I am working my way through the book steadily and the family love everything I have made to date. I haven't encountered any problems getting any of the ingredients, if there is something I can't obtain locally I can get the ingredients on line. So every recipe is possible to make. There is a list in the back of the book of suppliers.

Well illustrated and no airs or graces, an excellent set of recipes.

I've always loved Mexican food so wanted to try making some myself and this book seemed one of the most accessible out there. The recipies I've tried so far have all been delicious and loved by everyone whose eaten them, my fave is the guacomole, so much better than shop bought ones and so easy!

OK,they might not always be the most common of ingredients but there is a list in the book of suppliers where i've been able to get all the things I couldn't get at the supermarket easily and I have found that some supermarkets, for me, Tescos, are starting to stock more "exotic" ingredients such as several of the types of chilli used.

The instructions in the recipies are all easy to follow and the general information in the book is also interesting often with really nice pictures. I think the only downside is that some of the recipies do take quite a while to cook, not quick food but very tasty none the less!
