A nice little collection of recipes by an American who spent most of her adult life living in Mexico. I paid 25 pesos for this in Guadalajara in about 1974 and tried only one recipe: the one about chayote squash. That alone was worth the price of the book; chayote is now one of my favorite vegetables. In my effort to reduce my library to books that I really hope to read again, I am sending this one along to Drew Barrymore, whose new morning show indicates she is a cookbook collector. What show more better addition to the cookbook library of a Hollywood star from a theatrical family than a cookbook written by a Hollywood star who descended from a theatrical family. show less
