From beginners to advanced cooks, this is a must have for everyone wanting to cook Mexican dishes. Marge Poore writes to teach and in such a way that i didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to keep reading the cook book! I do however, recommend buying this in hard cover, not on kindle, which is difficult to skip to sections and recipes. I am, therefore, making the extra purchase to get the paper copy.

Great recipes / Bad Spanish

I have just received 1,000 Mexican Recipes in the mail. I am very excited to try out several of the recipes. But I am reading the Spanish translations as I leaf through the book and I am disappointed. There are so many errors in the Spanish.
I am a Spanish teacher. Why could not Marge and Bill Poore have hired me or someone else who knows good Spanish to edit these titles? It's not a job they can do on their own, no matter how many trips they make to their friends' houses in Mexico. They know nothing about where to put an accent, noun/adjective agreement, or prepositions. There are even spelling mistakes. This is very annoying. I want to cook with this book--not feel like I have to grade it.

I have tried over 50 recipes from this book and they have all been wonderful. It's traditional in my family to have a Mexican dinner with tamales every Christmas Eve and I end up doing most of the cooking because my family loves these recipes. They are basic and mostly very easy to make. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this as a gift to a co-worker who was born and raised in Mexico. She said that the recipes in this book are as authentic as any she'd ever seen!
