Rating:
Summary: Many of the dishes have been adapted from regional cookbooks
Review: This introduction to regional Mexican dishes of the Yucatan provides an easy basic beginner's guide which describes what ingredients are common to Mayan foods, techniques for preparation, and classic dishes. Many of the dishes have been adapted from regional cookbooks to make them easy for the home American chef to prepare, while introductory notes on local cuisines and specialties provide insights into the origins of dishes. There are some real surprises here - such as Pork Simmered in Cola - but anticipate a book which is filled with delightful surprises and fun.
