Summary: A note on the book's use of "Wormwood"
Comment: Recipes in this book frequently call for an herb called epazote, which an early chapter about ingredients defines as "wormwood." This shocked me, because wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is the toxic plant historically and infamously used to flavor absinthe.
Epazote is more likely Dysphania ambrosioides (according to Wikipedia), which is sometimes called "wormseed". Seeds are available on Amazon, and I think I'll throw a few in next year's garden. Until then, I'll substitute tarragon.

Summary: good recipes but very cheap book
Comment: I enjoy the wonderful recipes in this little cookbook, but I do not like the way it is organized. The book itself is small and printed on cheap paper. It should be spiral bound at least; there should be some decent artwork.
I was disappointed with this cookbook, because it needs to be hardcover.

Summary: Delightful cookbook
Comment: Very nice indeed! If they added pictures, this one would move up to a 5. I love to read cookbooks, and "A Taste of Mexico" made me smile.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Little too fat for me.
Comment: I'm a vegetarian because I try to be careful about the food I eat. While there some useful recipes in the book. I found that many were just way to high on the fat-o-meter and I will probably not use the book too much.

Summary: The ONLY Mex/Veg Cookbook to Buy!!!
Comment: This cookbook is one of my alltime favorites, and I have A LOT of cookbooks. The recipes are simple yet delicious. The bits of history and folklore are delightful. The classics are here in top form, and are often presented with new and innovative twists in addition to traditional preparation. This is a must have for ANYBODY wanting to cook up some good Mexican food, not just vegetarians!
