Summary: Excellent cookbook
Review: This book is an excellent addition to your cook book collection if you like truly authentic Mexican food. The recipes are great, most of them easy to prepare, and so what (as one person complained) if they take a little time--good things are worth waiting for. If you're in a hurry go to Taco Bell. To my mind, what this book shares with all truly great cookbooks is the combination of great recipes with clear instructions and an immensely readable and informative amount of information, instead of just listing recipes. The layout is very user friendly as well. I like a little history, I like to learn things I didn't know about a culture and their cuisine, or about unfamiliar ingredients, etc. Along with Dianne Kennedy's Mexican cookbooks I'd say these are the best books out there on this subject.

Summary: Most regions of Mexico Covered - great book
Review: This book really tries to teach *authentic* Mexican cooking. Some ingredients are hard to find, some of the recipes take all day, but thats what is so great about the book. I wish it had more pictures / color pictures but that is a small shortcoming.
This is the kind of cookbook that makes you want to sit down and read it cover to cover because of all the local color Bayless includes.

Summary: Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking From The Heart Of Mexic
Review: This cookbook had such good reviews that I bought it. Actually, I was disappointed in the book. While the few recipes I tried tasted good, they were too time consuming. I have found other cookbooks out there and have spoken to Mexican Americans for recipe ideas that tasted just as good and without as much preparation. I ended up giving the book away.
