I got this cookbook at Borders. Remember Borders? I'm looking at the now faded receipt and feeling sad. The bookmark in it says Borders.

Now, all sentimentality out of the way, this book has some good recipes in it. I love to look at the pictures. It's British so there are some unusual names for veggies and unusual spellings. For quantities, I have the option of using grams, ounces, or cups.

I have made a couple of fantastic recipes from this cookbook. Pork with Pineapple is one such dish I made for my husband and my nephew. The fresh pineapple on top (that was work!) totally made this dish. The other may have been the chimichangas. Unfortunately, I didn't mark the recipes I made from this cookbook.

Here's two recipes for my sister in this book: Chayotes with Corn and Chillies and Chayote Salsa.

I need to definitely rediscover this cookbook. Some of the recipes are too long and complicated but others aren't so bad. ( )

The recipes in this Ill be trying for some time. Many good, simple, tasty recipes. Everything Ive made so far has turned out well. Definitely a keeper. ( )

While it says in large print "Mexican" this is really a cookbook that samples all of Latin America and the Caribbean. It has many interesting recipes, many of which I have yet to try. The books uses both metric and English measures. Certainly worth exploring. ( )
