About this product

Product Information

With more than three hundred recipes, nearly sixty of which have never been published before, Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz--an expert on Latin American food--brings the colorful tapestry and basic principles of Mexican cooking to your kitchen. Here familiar items like peppers, avocados, cilantro, pumpkin, and beans are transformed with original and unexpected combinations that evoke the rich heritage and flavors of Mexico. Authentic dishes that tempt the palate range from such classics as Enchiladas Suizas (Flour Tortillas stuffed with Chicken, Poblano Chilies, and Tomatillos) to the intoxicating flavors of Pescado en Salsa de Azafran y Nuez (Fish in Saffron and Pecan Sauce). You'll find the recipes for the best known as well as creative variations on salsa, soup, meat, poultry, and vegetable dishes, passed from one generation to the next and enhanced by the colorful imagination and exquisite skills of cooks throughout Mexico. In the lively new headnotes for each recipe, Lambert Ortiz explores the fascinating history of this ancient cuisine, from the original Aztec and Mayan cooking of the precolonial civilizations to the cuisine that developed after the Spanish conquest. She'll show you how you too can recreate the vibrant spices, the exuberant colors, and the delectable taste of Mexican food in your own kitchen.

Complete Bood of Mexican Cooking
I have bought this book over and over. I have given it for Christmas, Birthdays, Friendship, Anniversaries, etc. It is one of the best and most simple mexican cooking books I have ever used. I must tell you, this is true Mexican cuisine, not Tex-Mex or any other border cuisines. You will find it simple and easy to use. The way the author decribes her dishes are exact and she has learned from some the best cooks in Mexico...the locals selling their ingredients at the markets. You will love this book!!!

Well written cookbook.
Foods I have forgotten about making since the passing of my Grandmother and Mom. I haven't cooked like this in a long-time. I am proud of my hairitage (Mexician American). My icons have left me with some of the guessing of how to make some of the dishes I was used to. Now I can have and share those wonderful tastes again. God bless authors like Elisabeth L Ortiz to have produced such an authentic book. Worth the buy.

Mexican cookbook
Maybe for a beginning cook but not a great cook. Too basic for any experienced cook to benefit from.
