“Anyone sensible enough to buy a copy before taking off for Mexico will be able to eat really well and even more importantly, to understand what they are eating.”—Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz, author of The Complete Book of Mexican Cooking
Veer off the tourist-beaten path to find authentic cuisine and rich new experiences in Mexico.

For the adventuresome traveler, this is a richly annotated resource that will help you understand and appreciate Mexican culture through authentic local cuisine.
