Featuring delectable and easily prepared 'recetas' for every course on the menu, THE ART OF MEXICAN COOKING will the be authority on Mexican food and cooking for many years to come. With a history as old as the Mayan civilization, Mexican cuisine reflects an exotic potpourri of nationalities and tastes.

Along with a wealth of incomparable recipes, THE ART OF MEXICAN COOKING also includes the fascinating history of the development of Mexican food - from the pre-Columbian Indians through its Danish, Spanish, English, French, and American influences.
