Book Reviews of Mexican Everyday (Recipes Featured on Season 4 of the PBS-TV series "Mexico One Plate at a Time")

Book Review: High praise from a Mexican to another. ; )
Summary: 5 Stars

I have used this cookbook extensively for the past 16 months and have made almost every single dish at least once and several other favorites multiple times now. I am still in aw of this book for it's coverage of Mexican culinary tastes, techniques, and cultural influences. I have not been bored a single minute using this book. Somehow or another, the book makes cooking informative, fun, and satisfying to a much greater degree than any other book I have used.

For those of you hesitant to take Mexican cooking cues from an aparent American cook, you could not be more wrong. I would bet that Rick Bayless has a greater grasp of Mexican cuisine than any other cook in America. One need only sample his dishes from the bright Yucatan (like his Cochinita Pibil)or the earthy Northern region of Mexico (his Birria or Pollo Asado- estilo Sinaloa)to understand Bayless' total mastery of Mexican food.

It is not enough for me to say that this book is good and that the dishes are good, Rick Bayless understands precisely what it is each dish should taste like. In other words, he remains true to the cuisine but offers superb techniques to overcome the challenges that the Mexican cuisine presents. He understands that the more complicated dishes are nearly impossible, save for a few times a year. Bayless solves these problems without sacrificing a thing, thereby unlocking the potential of cooks at home everywhere. As a Mexican and lover of true Mexican cuisine, Bayless has made any faovrite dish possible and has taken my cooking at home to new heights.

This book has been fun and rewarding to say the least. Buy this book if you love to cook and would like to find out what Bayless knows, that Mexican cuisine is on par with any cuisine in the world.

- PS. Invest in a good slow cooker, this book will make excellent use of it. Dishes that traditiaonally take 24 hours in preperation and cooking time- like Birria, Barbacoa, and Cochinta Pibil are acheived in the kitchen. The results will blow your mind and your friends and family who can appreciate the difficulty and time it takes to make suche dishes, will be astonished.

Summary of Mexican Everyday (Recipes Featured on Season 4 of the PBS-TV series "Mexico One Plate at a Time")

At last, a cookbook that brings Mexican food within easy reach: named to Food & Wine Magazine's Year's 25 Best Cookbooks as part of its annual Best of the Best cookbook. In his previous books, Rick Bayless transformed America's understanding of Mexican cuisine, introducing authentic dishes and cooking methods as he walked readers through Mexican markets and street stalls. As much as Rick loves the bold flavors of Mexican foods, he understands that preparing many Mexican specialties requires more time than most of us have. Mexican Everyday is written with the time sensitivities of modern life in mind. It is a collection of 90 full-flavored recipes-like Green Chile Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Ceviche Salad, Chipotle Steak with Black Beans-that meet three criteria for "everyday" food: 1) most need less than 30 minutes' involvement; 2) they have the fresh, clean taste of simple, authentic preparations; and 3) they are nutritionally balanced, full-featured meals-no elaborate side dishes required. Companion to a thirteen-part public television series, this book provides dishes you can eat with family and friends, day in and day out. .
