Product Description
At last, a cookbook that brings Mexican food within easy reach, companion to the all-new PBS series.

In his previous books, Rick Bayless transformed America's understanding of Mexican cuisine, introducing authentic dishes and cooking methods as he walked readers through Mexican markets and street stalls.

As much as Rick loves the bold flavors of Mexican foods, he understands that preparing many Mexican specialties requires more time than most of us have. Mexican Everyday is written with the time sensitivities of modern life in mind. It is a collection of 90 full-flavored recipes—like Green Chile Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Ceviche Salad, Chipotle Steak with Black Beans—that meet three criteria for "everyday" food: 1) most need less than 30 minutes' involvement; 2) they have the fresh, clean taste of simple, authentic preparations; and 3) they are nutritionally balanced, full-featured meals—no elaborate side dishes required. Companion to a thirteen-part public television series, this book provides dishes you can eat with family and friends, day in and day out. Color throughout.

Love this book October 9, 2008

I really like this book because of the focus on food that works for average day to day cooking. Granted, it's not 5-minute meals, but the recipes are still quick and they work. Yum.

This book makes Mexican totally accessible. I'm so excited to cook through this book because I love Mexican food, but eating out gets expensive and always has too much cheese and lard. Rick's book makes it a lot healthier with regional flavors and cooking techniques.

This may be an excellent book but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a basic mexican food cookbook with ideas and variations for your standard tacos, burritos etc... This is not it. Many of the ingredients cannot be found at our local market. I am returning book.

Absolutely Fabulous! June 9, 2008

I cannot say enough positive things about this cookbook! I have made recipe after recipe from it since I first saw Rick Bayless on Emeril Live make the Trout with Macadamias recipe and I was hooked! These dishes are not only wonderfully complex in flavor and utterly delicious but they are also healthful and beyond simple to prepare. My husband has loved every meal I have made from this book. I am working my way through the whole thing and have happy taste buds as a result! If you love a variety of flavors and foods, are short on meal making time most days and are concerned with maintaining a healthy weight, buy this book, you won't be disappointed!

I really like Rick Bayless on TV. Though I cook everyday and enjoy cooking his recipes seem a little time consuming. So, when I saw he came out with a "Mexican Everyday" cookbook I thought he had a book of simply or simplified recipes. I haven't found it to be true. Quite a few recipes require a day ahead planning unless you want to be in the kitchen all day long. The couple recipes I've made are very good, but I think the title of the book is misleading. You can't just open this up and cook dinner. You need to open it up and plan ahead.
