Summary: Tortilla binge
Comment: This is a great little book with lots of neat ideas. The recipes are simple and use common ingredients. I used mine as a bunco prize with a jar of homemade salsa, a jar of conqueso, and a package of chips.

Summary: Intyeresting ideas for tortilla's
Comment: Many ideas to use tortilla's and although I'm sure they all taste good to someone, most tend to lay on the fringes of my likes.

Summary: The Hectic Cook's Best Friend
Comment:
As an ocean going chef the "101" cookbook series is the chef/cook's best friend. I found a collection of these very handy cookbooks on my last ship and I knew I had to have my own copies. The ship was short handed and it ran out of basic cooking & baking supplies. These cookbooks gave excellent and simple meal preperation ideas with the few supplies & staff we did have. It's all common sense but these ladies take the brain damage out of meal planning. Most importantly, the crew was always satisfied. I'd recommend the series for the beginning cook or one that is short on time.

Summary: tortillas: the edible canvas
Comment: Stephanie Ashcraft is someone who understands how to unlock the potential of the tortilla. Though this delicacy has long been recognized as a favorite by mid-century minimalists such as Yves Klein and Josef Albers, Ashcraft proves the tortilla is a relevant medium for contemporary art as well. Her stirring arrangements of lettuce and shredded cheese display a keen sensitivity to color and emotion, and establish her as the unrivalled queen of postmodern cookery.
Also, she demonstrates out that the tortilla can be used as a frisbee, a parachute for small pets, and--with a little creative hole-punching--a terrifying face-mask! The possibilities are truly endless.

Summary: The best of all worlds.
Comment: There's something for everyone in here! If you're a lover of Mexican food, you'll find dozens of simple, delicious, and authentic recipes. "Mom's White Enchiladas" is already an all-time favorite of mine. If you're looking for Mexican-influenced dishes with a extra twist, you'll find all kinds of wonderfully inventive hybrids, like the "Tex-Mex Meat Loaf" or the "Southwest Lasagna". And if you're looking for something completely different to do with tortillas, stepping out of the Mexican territory, you'll find the most creative (and tasty) ideas for snacks, appetizers, even desserts - you name it, they've got it. It even includes kid-friendly fare, and it's quite vegetarian-friendly as well.
This is also, by far, one of the most practical cookbooks I've ever used. From the Helpful Hints at the very beginning, to the clear and concise directions throughout all the recipes - even the spiral binding (hey, it makes a big difference, being able to lay it flat) and plastic cover; they all add up to make this an easy and essential addition to your cookbook shelf.
