This one is about the best for tasty and relatively simple mole sauces. i return here again and again when preparing for a feast big or small. Any of the sauces for pork roast would be memorable. I enjoy rereading the stories behind the recipes, and the photos are of joyful REAL people who know that cooking provides spiritual as well as physical sustenance. This is what you want your children to remember long after you are gone.

This is as much a history and travel log as a cookbook. Normally, I love that type of cookbook, but I found the narrative in this to be a bit slow.

The recipes sound fantastic, but are definitely not for the beginner, or the cook who has a limited time in the kitchen. I will enjoy trying these for fun, in my summer break, because many of them will require all day to fix. They also will require a hunt for ingredients. Many ingredients mentioned are mail order only, or not available at all in show more America. show less

So far everything I've cooked from this book has been extremely good.
