Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico

Great book. Would be nice to have photos (only a few) but I know it's quite an old book now.

I bought this book for my son who had spent 2 years in Mexico and enjoyed the food there very much, he has tried several receipes from the book and says it is brilliant and authentic.

This book has everything you want to know about mexican cooking. Packed full of great recipes and information about ingredients. However despite the quality of the recipes the book itself inside looks very dated. Less than 20 images of the recipes and even though the illustrations are helpful im sure pictures would be even better. The dated layout out is very cluttered and ugly and desperately needs a re-design. But dont let this minor fault put you off what is a very good and substantial mexican cookbook.

This is by far the best Mexican cookbook that I have read.Totally spot on. Anyone into Mexican food should buy this book, its all you will ever need.

Hardly any photos in this book, which is so lazy. Not being from Mexico, would love to see what I'm cooking. I hate cookbooks with no photos. Considering this is an anniversary edition, they should've sprung for a photographer. I returned this book and got 'truly Mexican' which is a bit better, for photos anyway. When you open this, it looks like one of my grandmothers cookbooks.

I was not disappointed by this item. Bought for a friend's birthday gift, it contains lots of authentic and easy to follow (although not at all boring) recipes. It includes some some photos, although not many (but better than none). Would recommend to anyone wanting to try some nice exciting and authentic Mexican!!

Honestly I was expecting more from this book. Diana Kennedy's books seem to be allot better. I am a chef and work in a Mexican restaurant and maybe for that reason I felt the book was lacking something. It didn't really teach me anything or inspire me as much as I expected. Although the recipes were well written and easy to follow. I wanted more than something I could write myself from a chef I admire so much.

This book is probably okay if you live in an area where the ingredients are easy to come by but it is just not what I thought it would be have never ever used it
