Notes about this book

  • robm on July 05, 2011

    If you're considering buying this excellent book, look into The New Complete Book of Mexican Cooking, an updated version from 2000. Lambert Ortiz predates Diana Kennedy, and her recipes are usually more simple and direct. Her approach is more relaxed and suggests substitute ingredients that are more easily available in areas outside Mexico or without large Mexican communities and markets. Nevertheless, the food is delicious and brings back the flavors of Central Mexican cooking that I remember from my days as a kid in Mexico City.

      Absolutely outstanding. A bit time consuming, but simple. I did add 1.5 cups of broth and cooked it with the bone. I cut the meat off the bone, but threw it in. Needed 2 hours.
