My Take on the Book
While I am not Mexican in ethnicity, my wife and I love the food of Mexico. This book made my mouth water just looking though the book itself. This book tends to be a mix of Tex-Mex, and not simply Mexican countries. Being from an area with a lack of quality Mexican restaurants, it was nice to get some new ideas about possible recipes that I could make in the home.
There were so many recipes that surrounded the book that I did not know where to start.All of the recipes were from popular restaurants and thus from soups to entrées, you could see from the amazing photos that these recipes would be something amazing!
I tried out a few of the recipes and they were as good as I would have guessed! If you are passionate about your Mexican food and love to vook. Look no further than this book. You will not be disappointed!
