Honestly, if you have never cooked Mexican food before, I guess you would find this book helpful, but it's definitely not authentic and it's out of date. The recipes look good but they aren't authentic, think Chevy's, not the local taqueria down the road.The Capirotada recipe in the dessert section for example, we don't use brown sugar, we use piloncillo. It's unrefined sugar cane with more flavor than brown sugar. It leaves a lot to be desired, you would do better just googling recipes than purchasing this book.
