Kyle Killeen: I got this book to be able to learn how to make some dishes for my Mexican-American husband and kids. It is full of traditional comfort foods and also special dishes. Everything has been easy to make. We started going to Mexican markets to get some of the ingredients, as they're often cheaper there. Highly recommend this cookbook for any beginners to Mexican cooking!

Mary Twiss: I bought this cookbook because my husband loves Mexican food… and I had no idea how to make it. I found the pictures and the suggested pairings so helpful. The recipes are delicious- I’ve made the enchiladas so much now I can do it by heart. The book itself is also beautiful, I like having it out on my display.

michaeldrewpix: I have purchased this cookbook multiple times, first for myself and then frequently as a gift. It’s a succinct and manageable cookbook filled with authentic Mexican recipes that can teach just about anybody the basics of authentic Mexican cooking! My partner and I love using it to augment the cooking advice we get from his mama on the “recipes” she has used her whole life, passed down each generation. We get a lot of “use a little bit but not too much” from her so to try to re-create her rice, chiles rellenos, salsas, moles, etc can be challenging! That’s where Mely comes in. Better than any other source we’ve found, Mely’s blog and this book bring the recipes from the motherland not only to an English-speaking audience, but also to the bilingual sons and daughters whose parents settled in LA, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, etc decades ago. Mexican is one of the world’s greatest cuisines and for too long most of the U.S. has not profoundly understood what a rich cultural experience it can be to explore the breadth of what this food can be. Mely’s respect and admiration for her home country’s food culture shines through in her writing and she truly brings a...

Cliente Amazon: I have been looking forward to this book for a while so when availability in Italy became possible, I bought it immediately and I’m glad I did. As a homesick Texan, I miss the food I grew up eating. My grandmothers and Aunts were always in the kitchen and looking at these recipes brings me back to my childhood. I have tried a few of Mely Martinez’s recipes from her blog and they are delicious and authentic. I just received it today and have already recommended it to a friend!

MOP: As a Mexican person living abroad (UK) I am always in the look for a book with good recipes and in English so the appropriate translations are included in the recipes plus a good selection of REAL Mexican recipes. Mexicans really dislike that our food is often mistaken by the American twist of it called “Tex Mex”. It is not the same. This book is the best I have found so far and I applaud the great efforts and dedication that has come into it. Highly recommended.
