John A Farris: We have already made a few things out of this book and planned to make a few more. It is an excellent cookbook it holds up to her TV show.

Deborah Marks: My sister loves watching her online so I got this for her for her birthday. She loves it. I skimmed through it and it seems like this is actually authentic (as much as I can tell). I had to laugh at the section about vegetarian options, about how the author didn't want to do that section, and then when she did it's recipe after recipe of eggs.

Movie Queen: After seeing this show on TV I just had to get her cookbooks. They are nicely illustrated so you can see how the food should look when you prepare it. The were rather expensive but we'll worth the money!

Michael W. Lamb: First off, I love Pati's PBS series and it has inspired me to be a better cook. I purchased the cookbook so that I would have all the ingredient and instructions available while cooking. The end result is delicious food! The book itself needs more pictures of the dishes so that I have an idea of what I am attempting, and to inspire me to try something that looks appealing. I'd give the book 5 stars if it satisfied my visual needs!

Jenny V: This is the second book of Pati's that I have purchased. She does authentic Mexican recipes which taste amazing. They may take you a bit longer than other recipes but well worth the effort. I have a lot of Mexican cookbooks and Pati is by far the best. I recommend it to anyone wanting to cook authentic Mexican food.

i4abuy: I preordered this book the day Amazon offered it, expecting a collection of recipes from Pati's PBS programs. When I started reading it, the recipes were the third thing I admired -- right after the numerous Mexican Cook's Tricks and the extensive descriptions of Mexican ingredients. This is my third Mexican cookbook (after Diana Kennedy and Roberto Santibanez), but it should be everyone's introduction to Mexican flavors, techniques, and gusto because it works so well on four levels, each of which is worth the price of the book:

1. Mexican Cook's Tricks -- There is a "trick" at the end of most of the recipes. They are short and most apply more broadly than just the subject recipe: how to cook an egg, prepare enchiladas, marinate meats, prepare chiles. These are as addicting as nachos (or Margaritas): You can't eat just one. After you finish one, you poke around to find more.

2. Mexican Ingredients -- What stops you from reading the "cook's tricks?" There are about 60 green-highlighted sidebars, most of which describe a Mexican ingredient and how it is prepared and enjoyed: tamarind, corn versus flour tortillas, several varieties of chiles, hibiscus flowers, cinnamon,...
