Daniel Boulud chef-owner of Restaurant Daniel, New York City, and
author of Café Boulud Cookbook Rick Bayless has managed to make my
mouth water and my mind leave New York (direction Mexico!), all in
one book.
Gary Nabhan MacArthur Award-winning ethnobotanist and author of
Coming Home to Eat Rick Bayless has the depth and breadth of
knowledge about Mexican food traditions that most food writers can
only dream of. Bayless is as vital to the culinary exchange between
the U.S. and Mexico as Carlos Fuentes is to our binational
literature. Viva Ricardo!
Jacques Pepin co-author of Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home In
Mexico One Plate at a Time, you will discover Mexican cooking as
you've never had it in your life. Great dishes and easy techniques
make this book a must.
Jim Harrison author of Legends of the Fall and The Road Home I have
long admired the work of Rick Bayless. In Mexico One Plate at a
Time he continues his passionate attempt to introduce us to a
long-ignored cuisine. It is a splendid book and anyone who cares
about world cuisine will want it in their library.
Scott Simon host of National Public Radio's Weekend Edition with
Scott Simon, author of Home and Away: Memoir of a Fan Rick Bayless
sees in Mexican food the everyday personal celebration of life, art
and friendship across a table. His recipes are lucid, allow for
error and encourage innovation. I tried the chilaquiles recipe as
soon as I opened this book. The results were delicious, my friends
were delighted and we laughed and lingered late into the night. I
think that's what Rick likes to help bring about with this lovely
and lyrical book.
Thomas Keller chef-owner of The French Laundry, Yountsville,
California, and author of The French Laundry Cookbook Rick's
question-and-answer portion not only touches on the history of a
particular dish, but provides personal tips for home cooks to
successfully re-create the recipes in their own kitchens. This is
definitely the kind of cookbook one returns to again and again.
