The colors on the cover are wonderful! I bet the photos inside are, too. I like that there are illustrations of every recipe. It’s Mexican Independence Day and what a great way to celebrate….with food!
I don’t like Mexican food, probably because I’ve never eaten any good Mexican food. I would purchase this cookbook so I could try some of the recipes and see if I could make some food that I can enjoy. Thank you for sharing this post.

I like that the book has techniques to help you master the art of Mexican cooking.
Since I’m from New Mexico, and make Mexican food often, this book has some good authentic looking recipes.
Authentic and easy mexican food! I like it because we have lost our last good mexican place to eat here and I love mexican food. It would be really great to make my own. Something really authentic, those are the best.
It is great that they chose to do the book in sections (salsa, moles, etc) because then you don’t feel like you are stuck making an entree one way.
I love that he focuses on the Mexican techniques, I know each country has their own and I would love to learn his way!
