Summary: Savior-Fair of Mexican Cuisine
Review: As my husband and I have a predelection for fine cuisine and having studied with a few world's renounced chefs and aficionados of Mexican Cuisine, I guarantee this cookbook's recipes will delight even the most fastidious palate. The easy-to-follow recipes are ever bit as appetizing and appealing they appear in the exquisite photographs. Even a novice cook will look like pro with the savoir-faire of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Summary: One of the best in the series of Beautiful Cookbooks
Review: From the gourmet to the everyday! This truly is an exceptional cookbook. The photos are a plus to this well researched and written book. Some of the recipes border on the gourmet and may even be difficult to find in Mexican restaurants. The ingredients may seem quite peculiar to the average American but the effort is well worth the experimentation. Case in point: Crepas de Cuitlacoche con salsa de Poblano "Corn Fungus Crepes with Poblano Sauce". Seriously one of the best dishes I've tried. I own three Beautiful Cookbooks, but by far this is the most used. I can count on every recipe being fabulous!

Summary: Review from Mexican resident: Very authentic and excellent..
Review: I am an avid collector of cookbooks, and as far as authentic quality material, this book is the best. But it is less a book, and more a work of art. The photographs are breathtaking, the cusine authentic region by region, and even offers the new "alta cocina Mexicana"--or, Mexican haute cuisine from Mexico City...SUPERB!

Summary: Deliciosso!!!!
Review: I have been constantly disappointed by cookbooks that try to be "authentic" and flounder hopelessly with burritos and tacos. I was absolutely ecstatic to find this cookbook because I feel itI is truly authentic. I checked it out from the library and don't want to return it, but I will. Every recipe I have used has turned out amazing and to die for. I have always loved cooking, but this cookbook has redefined that love. Not to mention, the photography is very inspiring. It takes me back to my time spent in Mexico and makes me wish I was there again. Overall, this cookbook is my favorite and I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Summary: The most authentic Mexican Cookbook I've ever used.
Review: I lived in central Mexico for several years. I fell in love with the cuisines of the country, and Mexico the Beautiful is one of the most authentic and varied cookbooks I've found, and my bookshelf includes the works of Diana Kennedy, considered by most to be the authority on Mexican cooking.. My Mexican relatives and friends were wowed by the recipes I made from this book.Several actually asking me jokingly if I were sure that I didn't have any Mexican blood, because my food was so authentic. They all agreed that they were not only delicious, but good representations of the cuisines. I also found it helpful to know what region the recipe originated from, and each recipe has a corresponding photo. This is absolutely the best Mexican cookbook I've ever seen. I'm sure you won't use this as is, but feel free to change it around. This will be my second copy, as the original was destroyed in a flood. I just can't live without this book.

Review: I married a man form the north of the border and came to live to U.S.A. I love my husband but I terribly miss my delicious cuisine tradition. I have many books about mexican cuisine and this one is definitely the best one in all aspects. I have a copy that I gave my mother in law as a present. Felicidades a Susana Palazuelos y a Ignacio Uriquiza por un trabajo impecable

Summary: Que Sabrosa!
Review: I ran into this cookbook in the kitchen of a Mexican friend. Wow! I usually don't go for large coffee-table format cookbooks, but for this one I'm happy to make an exception. It is everything the title says: Mexican (really! They have panuchos, my favorite treat from the Yucatan) and Beautiful with a capital B. There should be a drool alert. The photos are that good! Pick up this book. It's like taking a mini-vacation to Mexico!
