About this title: Valuable not only for their recipes but for their insights into Mexican culture based on her long sojourn there, Diana Kennedy's cookbooks are classics in the field. This magisterial volume draws on her first three books, THE CUISINES OF MEXICO, THE TORTILLA BOOK, and MEXICAN REGIONAL COOKING, providing authentic regional recipes and bringing them up to date. In addition to many of her traditional favorites, Kennedy has added at least 30 new ones.

"One of the things I love about Diana Kennedy's cookbooks, is that it's not just the recipes. There is also commentary about ingredients, experiences, and people she has met, which makes her cookbooks far more engaging."
"Oh Diana Kennedy. I grew up with a copy of The Cuisines of Mexico; though I love my Essential Cuisines, whenever I'm sick in body or heart, it's that familiar oxblood leather-bound book that I turn to, huddled on the couch under an afghan, and it soothes me every time."
"Although the recipes in this book are excellent and authentic, as a cookbook it is very difficult to get into and follow. The sections are set up regionally instead of the typical appetizers, entrees, dessert set-up of most cookbooks I encounter. This is almost more interesting as book to read cover to cover, containing many interesting stories about the native Mexican cooks that the author received her tutelage and recipes from. However, I rated it in view that it is a cookbook and hence, two stars."
"Read it only for the anthropological interest. Its easier to put together basic mexican food yourself by mixing and matching elements found at the local mexican grocery."
