5.0 out of 5 stars
From introduction to index, this is one of the best!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen (Hardcover)
It is not often that an introduction written in a cookbook captures your
attention, and most people probably don't even read them yet the one in
Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen really sets the tone of this book. The
publication claims over 150 recipes but with Bayless's 'variations and
improvisations' section after almost every recipe, there are many more
possibilities to choose from.
True Mexican cuisine jumps from each page and each menu item also
contains words from the heart, giving history to each. Recipes include:
Shrimp Seviche with Roasted Cactus, Ripe Plantain Turnovers with Fresh
Cheese Filling, Mexican-Style Sweet Roasted Garlic Soup, Spicy Yucatecan
Beef "Salad" Tacos, Smoky Braised Mexican Pumpkin with Seared White
Onion, Chipotle Shrimp, Lamb Barbacoa from the Backyard Grill and Modern
Mexican Chocolate Flan with Kahlua.
A lot of heart and soul as well as time went into this book. Most
recipes not only contain variations and improvisations, but also include
some shortcuts and many with advanced preparation ideas to help today's
busy cook. With 150 recipes in over 420 pages these recipes were written
in complete detail. Ingredients are almost all available in regular
grocery stores with only a few at specialty stores. Mexican Kitchen is
definitely a cookbook to add to your collection.
Mexican Kitchen by Rick Bayless is published by Scribner Publishing.
Exceptional recipes written with a lot of passion and love for food. A
good book to add to any shelf.

Highly Recommended!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen (Hardcover)
I've read novels that weren't as engaging as the introduction to Rick Bayless' new book. Informative, educational, and entertaining, this is the first authentic Mexican cookbook I've bought that had me rushing into the kitchen to start cooking.
I started with one of the 14 essentials -- a divine ancho chili paste that was very easy and quick to prepare. Then, I took one of his recommendations from "Simple Ideas from My American Home." He titled it "Very, Very Good Chili." Not letting my husband know I'd tried a new chili recipe, he took two bites and announced, "This is very good chili." I couldn't resist correcting him: "No, it's very, VERY good chili."
Can't wait to move on to the rest of the recipes! Hope you enjoy this book as much I know I will over the years to come.

Very informative, but...,

This review is from: Mexican Kitchen (Paperback)
This is a good cookbook and I'm not here to dote on the author. The only gripes I have with the copy I own are that: there are no pictures (as I own the paperback) and the measurements are in American terms i.e. cups.
I'm not saying don't buy this book as I made some wonderful enchiladas from one of the recipes, and it does provide an insight into the mexican kitchen.
