Oaxaca: The Food of the Region, and of LA’s legendary restaurant Guelaguetza: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico

Great value

Great book, covers all aspects you would want and looks super authentic.

Simply has helped me cook proper Mexican food abroad. Great techniques and passion to share of the author.

Oh yes, oh yes! Amazing book also visit the resturant in LA if you can.

nice book, lots of photos and in an easy language

So nice - the look and feel, the colours, the recipes..

I loved this book when I bought it, and the illustrations are beautiful. However, after I attempted my first recipe it was a complete disaster. Of course, it didn't occur to me to do more research on other similar recipes or to look up quantities or temperature conversions (even that was wrong!) because the stories in the book are so convincing that it gives you confidence to actually make these things. I made one of the desserts (chocoflan) and the recipe instructions are simply WRONG. There are steps missing, and the conversion from F to C is wrong. And you can imagine how important that is in baking... If you attempt to make this as it is described, it will be a total failure. I will try the rest of the recipes but just take them as ideas, and will look for other similar recipes first before wasting money on ingredients and ending up with a bowl of sweet goop. Very disappointing!

Brilliant book. Arrived swiftly and well packed. Fab purchase thank you!

Delicious and authentic

This is a beautiful book with high quality pictures and print. It is full of authentic, and easy to follow recipes. I would not recommend it for a beginner cook, but it doesn’t require a professional either. This is one of my favorite books in my kitchen right now.

A la persona a quien lo regalé me dijo que le encantó. Por ende, lo recomiendo.

Much more than a cookbook. It has beautiful photos, stories, history, and of course great recipes.

By far, one of the best cookbooks I own. From easy reference to key chiles used in Oaxacan dishes via a photo in the book, to learning the staples and preparing them (like black beans and masa), I peruse this book often. And there are a few dishes I make on the regular. So delicious and authentic!
