"The book is filled with bright, fresh flavors and dishes that are
wonderful in their simplicity."
--Publishers Weekly "Pati Jinich is a breath of fresh air in the
food world. She's warm, beyond smart, she's funny and a generous
and gifted cook. She knows Mexican food as her heritage and as a
scholar, but knows, too, the realities of being a working mother.
She never gave up on the tastes she grew up with, but she's got an
uncanny way of streamlining how she recreates them. This is one of
those books you'll be cooking and learning from for a long
time."
--Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Splendid Table host "Pati Jinich has
created the most delicious guidebook to the magnificent
market-driven home cooking of Mexico that I've ever seen. This book
makes it simple to create fresh and tasty Mexican food and inspires
me to make soft fresh torillas, pickle my own jalape�os, and
delight in Chicken Tinga with my family. This book will become a
family heirloom at my house forever."
-- Mario Batali --
