Any of Rick's books are very good. I own a couple of them myself. Also for traditional mexican cuisine any book by Diane Kennedy is wonderful. She was really the first to introduce Americans to Mexican foods beyond tacos, burritos, flautas, etc. You can also look at the books of Mark Miller and Stephan Pyles. They aren't mexican, but are Southwestern cuisine. The recipes may not be authentic mexican, but they capture the flavors and the culture of the American Southwest and Mexico. |
