I have a whole rack of cookbooks in my kitchen and none is used more than this book. Every recipe has turned out to be a grand success. You do need to have access to Mexican ingredients as many of the recipies call for a few exotic ingredients. You will not be disappointed in this cookbook however.

The one and only reason this book is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of color photographs. That is the only factor preventing this book from perfection. The recipies are manageable, authentic, and unbelievably delicious. I never thought I could cook a Mexican dinner better than the ones I’d had at the best Mexican restaurant in town, but with this book, I did it. There’s also a great number of different recipies to choose from, all wonderful. This book is a treasure and an absolute must-have for any cooking enthusiast.

For the last 15 years, I had been looking to recreate several of the wonderful Mexican dishes I ate while living in Tucson, Arizona for 6 years. It was not until I found The Border Cookbook that I was able to accomplish this task! The authors have made it very easy to cook the wonderful flavors that I have been missing all of these years. The descriptions of the history of the dishes and the detailed explanations of how to cook each recipe make this cookbook one of my favorites!

I live in a tiny town in southern Colorado and have LOTS of company. This cookbook has given me an arsenal of impressive and easy-to-make “border” dishes that give my guests an authentic taste of the Southwest. People always love the food, and I must have given a dozen copies of this cookbook as gifts.

This book is more comprehensive than any I’ve ever come across. Moving from Boston a few months back– my partner has already exclaimed, “You cook like you’ve lived here all your life!” Good, solid recipes, no hype. Bene!
