Dewey Decimal Number: 641.5926872073 EAN: 9780684818184 ISBN: 0684818183 Label: Simon & Schuster Languages: Manufacturer: Simon & Schuster Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 416 Publication Date: November 12, 1997 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Studio: Simon & Schuster Editorial Review: Product Description: A glorious celebration of Mexican-American home cooking, culture, and family values--from the coauthor of Mexico the Beautiful Cookbook and the chef whose restaurant was the first to introduce the diverse delights of Mexican regional cuisine in the United States. 2-color throughout. Amazon.com Review: Forget about the food you eat in what pass for Mexican restaurants in America; cleanse your palate, then come to this book. For Marilyn Tausend reveals the truth, the whole truth: within these pages are the foods eaten in Mexican American households throughout the United States. After years of traveling all over Mexico (she coauthored Mexico the Beautiful Cookbook), meeting the best Mexican cooks and cooking teachers, and years of leading cooking tours to Mexico to share all that she had discovered, Marilyn Tausend came home, back to the U.S.--back to her roots, which include a childhood spent shoulder-to-shoulder with Mexican fieldworkers on farmlands throughout the West, sharing their food. Of the 13 million Americans who think of themselves as Mexican Americans, what, Tausend wondered, are they cooking at home today? And what she discovered as she crisscrossed the U.S. was that their roots run deep; these families stick together and trace their heritage back to the regions of Mexico from which they sprang, and the food tells the story. Mind you, a little Coca-Cola might get mixed in with a dish today, and canola oil might well be used instead of lard; after all, times change, and people change with them. But some elements, Tausend discovered, stay basically the same: a strong sense of family and a delight in bringing a big family together to eat. Crack open this book, use the recipes, and fill your house full of the love that comes from serving--and eating--real food. Let Marilyn Tausend show you how; you couldn't be in better hands.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great cookbook with many delicious recipesNot exactly a Mexican cookbook but many of the recipes are authentic and/or adapted to American tastes. We have a lot of experience eating and cooking authentic Mexican and thoroughly enjoyed the style of recipe in this book. Very creative and hearty recipes from Mexican-American communities all over the U.S. that represent Mexican communities all over Mexico. There are recipes for Pork Chile Verde and Chiles Con Queso plus a lot of novel things that use Mexican and American ingredients to create an undoubtedly Mexican flavor. Rating: - True Mexican American CookingIt is a true, authentic Mexican-AMERICAN cookbook. This is what is really happening in the kitchens of Mexican immigrants all across the United States. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican cookbook you have come to the wrong place...this is a Mexican-American cookbook. (try anything by Diana Kennedy for Mexican) But I love it because it really captures the dance of two cultures that occurs in an immigrant's kitchen. Rating: - lots of great recipes my mexican husband lovedthe book was filled with excellent recipes that he says is the real deal from mexico. he has tried a few of them and loved them so much. reminds him of home again. thanks for the book Rating:  - Not traditional mexican foodIf you're looking for traditional mexican food, this is not the recipe book for you. I couldn't find a recipe to make refried beans, carne asada, or posole. All the recipes are too complicated and use strange ingredients that I've never seen my mom or grandmother use in their recipes.
