Synopsis
The Art of Mexican Cookingis  the ultimate guide to creating sensational flavors  of authentic Mexican food in your own kitchen.  Her classic,The Cuisines of  Mexico, established Diana Kennedy as the authority on  Mexican cooking, and now she brings thirty-two  years of living, traveling, and researching in  Mexico to a dazzling masterpiece of culinary  adventure.The Art of Mexican Cooking  is a brilliant exploration of one of the world's  truly great cuisine, including more than 200  extraordinary recipes, many for dishes previously  unknown north of the border, as well as more than 50  evocative illustrations and 150  photographs. These dishes, favorites throughout Mexico,  range from sophisticated to pure and simple; all  share an amazing depth of taste. Aficionados will  go to great lengths to duplicate the authentic  dishes (and Kennedy tells them exactly how), but  here too there is a wealth of less complicated  recipes for the casual cook who longs for the  unmistakable flavors of soul-warming  cuisine. Kennedy shares the secrets of true Mexican  flavor: balancing chile flavors with a little salt  and acid, for instance, or charring them to round  out their flavor; broiling tomatoes to bring out  their character, or using cumin for a light  accent. By using Kennedy's kitchen wisdom and advice  and carefully selecting tropical produce that is  now readily available in most American markets,  American cooks can at last serve truly authentic  Mexican food.

    I would not have put this item as Very Good, as it has "mold spots" on the outside pages. The inside seems to be fine.
