The Art of Mexican Cooking

No less than a dozen of the recipes from this book have made it into our catering company's repertoire - and for good reason. Look for her Legumbres en Escabeche - totally worth the work. A memorable quote that reveals her style admirably: "Do NOT soak the beans first; the skin gives off an unpleasant flavor. If you do, then don't throw out the soaking water with all the minerals and flavor. Instead throw out the book that tells you to do so."

Diana Kennedy is the "Julia Child" of Mexican cooking and her books have no competition to my mind. Her recipes are authentic and often labor-intensive and involved but the results reflect the work.

One of the best, most authoritative books on authentic Mexican cooking.
