Summary: From introduction to index, this is one of the best!!
Comment: It is not often that an introduction written in a cookbook captures your attention, and most people probably don't even read them yet the one in Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen really sets the tone of this book. The publication claims over 150 recipes but with Bayless's 'variations and improvisations' section after almost every recipe, there are many more possibilities to choose from. True Mexican cuisine jumps from each page and each menu item also contains words from the heart, giving history to each. Recipes include: Shrimp Seviche with Roasted Cactus, Ripe Plantain Turnovers with Fresh Cheese Filling, Mexican-Style Sweet Roasted Garlic Soup, Spicy Yucatecan Beef "Salad" Tacos, Smoky Braised Mexican Pumpkin with Seared White Onion, Chipotle Shrimp, Lamb Barbacoa from the Backyard Grill and Modern Mexican Chocolate Flan with Kahlua. A lot of heart and soul as well as time went into this book. Most recipes not only contain variations and improvisations, but also include some shortcuts and many with advanced preparation ideas to help today's busy cook. With 150 recipes in over 420 pages these recipes were written in complete detail. Ingredients are almost all available in regular grocery stores with only a few at specialty stores. Mexican Kitchen is definitely a cookbook to add to your collection. Mexican Kitchen by Rick Bayless is published by Scribner Publishing. Exceptional recipes written with a lot of passion and love for food. A good book to add to any shelf

Summary: Top-notch
Comment: Sometimes a cookbook is so comprehensive, in terms of recipes and in capturing an attitude toward cuisine, that its greatness is obvious. This is such a book. If you know anything at all about Rick Bayless, you know that this isn't your Chi-chi's Mexican cooking. Within the pages of this book you will find dishes of incredible depth and you will learn a lot about the culture that engendered this cuisine.

If the complicated main course items are rather daunting, the salsas are quite do-able. By going through the salsa section I feel like my own cooking has gained a new syntax. Whether this is going to be a frequently used cookbook depends on your ambition and of course the amount of time you can devote to cooking. Even if you make a small fraction of the recipes, you will gain a lot of insight into Mexican cooking just by reading the book.
