Like others, I was excited about this book, but it has problems. First, it is heavily slanted toward Mexican desserts, so the title is a bit misleading? Second, while the flavors are wonderful, the texture can be fairly poor. Examples: the altogether too solid arroz con leche and the unpipable churro batter. Third, I guess that last word (Tradition) can be construed in more than one way. The recipes frequently stray from the traditional. Curiously, too, this is the second book I have gotten recently that does not coordinate the photos with the recipes. Are the publishing houses getting lazy? Or does it cost too much money to do these things properly?
