Book Reviews of The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook
Book Review: Lamb and Goat
Summary: 5 Stars
The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook is fun to read for sheer entertainment. The notes in the margins and the introductions to the different sections are infomative.
We like the section called "Lamb and Goat" with its helpful recipes for cooking Greek dishes. There are many other international recipes with detailed instructions for preparation.
There are some unique salads and some enticing desserts included also.
I highly recommend this cookbook, which is off the beaten path.
Book Review: Creative tacos
Summary: 4 Stars
I've started making my own homemade corn tortillas (I don't even use a press, just a rolling pin). Was looking for some creative fillings and this book is the answer. Some of the recipes do take some time to prepare, but most seem worth it. Fillings sound tasty and nutritious - everything from Thai shrimp to dessert concoctions. No photos but great descriptions and anecdotes. I would recommend for anyone looking to step out of the typical ground beef or chicken strips fillings.Book Review: The Not So Well-Filled Tortilla
Summary: 1 Stars
This is definitely a book that should be seen before bought. It required ingredients not always found in the typical home pantry. Additionally, while the title suggests Mexican food, it was almost totally Mexican and I think it would have broader appeal if it had some other types of fillings and more quesadilla recipes. (The latter is the reason I bought the book and found nearly no recipes for quesadillas.) The pictures were the high spot...excellently photographed.Book Review: Fantastic ideas!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book with a wide range of new twists on everything from salsas to breakfast tacos. We bought this book when it first came out and loaned it out so many times that is was lost. We had enough of our favorites memozied that we did not repurchase until this week. Now I am finding a whole list of new ideas.
Great instructions on hand making your own corn tortillas, A+ salsa ideas. A must have book....
Book Review: well filled tortilla cookbook
Summary: 4 Stars
great cookbook w/ lots of creative ideas for tortilla based meals. Definitely not for the authentic hispanic cuisine purist as it deviates quite a bit from authentic mexican/south american meals in my experience. There are many delicious ideas none the less. I purchased this w/ a tortilla press and it contains a few recipes for tortilla dough. I am very excited to try some of these recipes in home made tortillas.
