Reviews for Elena's Famous Mexican And Spanish Recipes

[cookebooks · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Blind restauranteur Elena has produced simply the best home style cookbook ever to come from a one-book wonder. Her adopted country has benefitted from her easy to serve and prepare Americanizations of her Mexico City origins. My friend made sure to buy one of these for each of her 5 children. I will do the same.

I grew up on Elena's recipes. When I married my husband he was surprised that I could cook so many things which tasted like his Nana used to make. Many of these are simplified to suit American kitchens before variety hit the grocery stores, but they still taste great.
