Luscious Fusion of Mexican, Spanish & Caribbean, 24 Sep 2001
By rodboomboom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zarela's Veracruz (Hardcover)
What a marvelous cookbook. With worthy introduction of the region of Veracruz and its culinary traditions and their influences, this book not only provides wonderful, unique recipes but accents them with the cultural flavor from which they originate.The sub-title says what this cookbook is about well: Cooking and Culture in Mexico's Tropical Melting Pot. Also, a great section and the ingredients, their purchase and preparation.
The recipes are just wonderful! Tried the Tostadas with Hashed Crab, Masa-Sweet Potato Shells with Fillings, Santa Maria's Chicken Soup with Noodles, Shredded Chicken in Blackberry Liquor Sauce, Moors and Christians (black beans and white rice).
These are most delightful, easy to prepare and gorgeous and exciting to offer guest diners. This is a great cookbook to add to those who enjoy Latin-Caribbean style cooking. It's all here, with great color photos and well done recipes.

It's not another Tex-Mex wannabe book, 3 Jun 2002
By Kasey M. Moctezuma "parisgirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zarela's Veracruz (Hardcover)
Zarela Martinez is one of my favorite authors of Mexican cookbooks. I have searched at great length to find books of Mexican cooking which are authentic, and not adapted to suit American palates. The cuisine of Veracruz is really varied and due to influences from Mexico, Africa, and the Caribbean. Most of the recipes in this book are not what one would think of as stereotypically Mexican. This makes a great armchair read, but the recipes are delicious, especially the shrimp marinated in beer and cooked with a chipotle chile paste. Out of this world!!!!

Autentico, 20 Sep 2010
By achat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zarela's Veracruz (Hardcover)
I purchased the book used and it arrived in excellent condition. Hardly looks used. Also, the recipes in this book are definitely authentic to the region. I lived in Xalapa, Veracruz and wished I had gotten the recipes for the food, especially sauces. Zarela does a good job of bringing authentic recipes to the English-speaking audience.
