While there is a somewhat streamlined version in his newer book Mexican
Everyday, Chef Rick Bayless is in top form with his bestselling Mexico
One Plate at a Time. Collected from his childhood and extensive travels throughout Mexico, the
book features more than 120 traditional Mexican recipes, from starters to desserts, and the simple to the complex. Each
of the dishes is accompanied by a description of what the dish should look and taste like, so any cook unfamiliar with
the cuisine will know that they are on the right track. Of course, the recipes are so detailed that it is difficult to
get off track with them. Some of the recipes call for specialty or traditional ingredients, which might be difficult to
get at a local market depending on where you live, but the extensive appendix even includes a list of websites where you
can fine everything you might need. You're guaranteed to have many great, authentic meals with the recipes in this
book.
