PRODUCT REVIEWS
- almost written like an anthropology book
- great little asides about variations, Mexican kitchen language and cook's notes.
- this edition contains pictures in a few special color photo sections
- for the most part, it's all words and a few illustrations. it works but I'd love to see everything in photos instead of just the highlights
