Reviews"The book is filled with bright, fresh flavors and dishes that are wonderful in their simplicity ." -- Publishers Weekly     " Pati Jinich is a breath of fresh air in the food world . She's warm, beyond smart, she's funny and a generous and gifted cook. She knows Mexican food as her heritage and as a scholar, but knows, too, the realities of being a working mother. She never gave up on the tastes she grew up with, but she's got an uncanny way of streamlining how she recreates them. This is one of those books you'll be cooking and learning from for a long time ." --Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Splendid Table host     "Pati Jinich has created the most delicious guidebook to the magnificent market-driven home cooking of Mexico that I've ever seen . This book makes it simple to create fresh and tasty Mexican food and inspires me to make soft fresh torillas, pickle my own jalapeños, and delight in Chicken Tinga with my family. This book will become a family heirloom at my house forever." -- Mario Batali, "The book is filled with bright, fresh flavors and dishes that are wonderful in their simplicity ." - Publishers Weekly " Pati Jinich is a breath of fresh air in the food world .

SynopsisThe host of the highly popular and award-winning PBS show Pati's Mexican Table shares everyday Mexican dishes, from the traditional to creative twists. Pati Jinich has a mission. She's out to prove that Mexican home cooking is quicker and far easier than most Americans think. Surprising in their simplicity and freshness, Pati's recipes incorporate produce and grains. Most important, they fit perfectly into an everyday family cooking schedule and use just a handful of ingredients, most of which are already in your pantry. Many are homey specialties that Pati learned from her mother and grandmother, some are creative spins on classics, while others are not well known outside of Mexico. Dishes like Chicken à la Trash (it's delicious!), a one-pot meal that Pati gleaned from a Mexican restaurant cook; Mexican Meatballs with Mint and Chipotle; Sweet and Salty Salmon; and Mexican-Style Pasta can revitalize your daily repertoire. You'll find plenty of vegetarian fare, from Classic Avocado Soup, to Divorced Eggs (with red and green salsa), to Oaxaca-Style Mushroom and Cheese Quesadillas. Your friends and family will enjoy Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with Pickled Ancho Chile Vinaigrette; Crab Cakes with Jalapeño Aioli; and Chicken Tinga--(you can use rotisserie chicken), which makes a tasty filling for tortas and tostadas. Pati also shares exciting dishes for the holidays and other special occasions, including Mexican Thanksgiving Turkey with Chorizo, Pecan, Apple, and Corn Bread Stuffing; Spiral-Cut Beef Tenderloin; and Red Pozole ("a Mexican party in a bowl"), which she served on her wedding day. Desserts like Triple Orange Mexican Wedding Cookies, Scribble Cookies (sandwich cookies filled with chocolate), and little Apricot-Lime Glazed Mini Pound Cakes are sophisticated yet simple to make., The host of a highly popular PBS series, Pati's Mexican Table , and a self-described "overloaded soccer mom with three kids and a powerful blender," Pati Jinich has a mission. She's out to prove that Mexican home cooking is quicker and far easier than most Americans think. Her dishes are not blanketed with cheese, or heavy and fried, or based on complex sauces. Nor are they necessarily highly spicy. Surprising in their simplicity and freshness, they incorporate produce and grains.

    Disappointed

    The book was not what I expected, I see her show in TV and I love all her receipts, her high spirit and knowledge and new creations of real Mexican food. The book was nothing like her TV show, not good recipes for the high price the book cost. Vegetarian, salads, not a many main courses. Won’t recommend it to anyone.

  • Need pictures

    Pati's Mexican food is great and taste delicious but they make a mistake on this book, for people who look for recipes they need pictures to look what they cooking. On this book maybe 3 or 4 pics for the whole book. Very disappointed. Not recommended for beginner.

  • Perfect for Beginners

    Book is very well written and pictures are wonderful. I am familiar with Pati's Mexican Table series on PBS so having found this book it is a whole lot easier to use her recipes with explanations and pictures than to write them down each week.
