At last, a cookbook that brings Mexican food within easy reach, companion to the all-new PBS series.
In his previous books, Rick Bayless transformed America's understanding of Mexican cuisine, introducing authentic dishes and cooking methods as he walked readers through Mexican markets and street stalls.
As much as Rick loves the bold flavors of Mexican foods, he understands that preparing many Mexican specialties requires more time than most of us have. Mexican Everyday is written with the time sensitivities of modern life in mind. It is a collection of 90 full-flavored recipes—like Green Chile Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Ceviche Salad, Chipotle Steak with Black Beans—that meet three criteria for "everyday" food: 1) most need less than 30 minutes' involvement; 2) they have the fresh, clean taste of simple, authentic preparations; and 3) they are nutritionally balanced, full-featured meals—no elaborate side dishes required. Companion to a thirteen-part public television series, this book provides dishes you can eat with family and friends, day in and day out. Color throughout.

I love this book. Too much, it seems, as the binding is completely broken. The recipes are authentic--I live on the border and can compare with my Mexican friends' recipes. They are easy. They are flavorful. It is the only Bayless book that I use, although I own the others. Buy it. But complain to the publisher about that horrible, cheap binding.

I have purchased many cook books in my time and most of them have ended up collecting dust on my book shelf. Not this one. This is a book that I actually use. The recipes are simple, and straightforward. Some have said that this is "white" mexican food but I am mexican and I don't have a problem with that. These recipes are much easier and in some cases, healthier than the traditional versions.
Overall, this is a great, well-written cookbook!!!
