Go now. Buy this. Make the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde.

I cannot fairly give this a star rating. there's not much wrong with the book. I mean, more pictures would be better, but the directions and everything are clear. it's just that I'm not really a fan of Mexican food. we're doing this for cookbook club next month so I'll update after I've tried a bunch more recipes.

Every year I take on a new cookbook and this was 2018's project. Bayless is a clear writer and the recipes here give an excellent overview of Mexican flavors but once you get a few of the techniques down there isn't much left. It was pretty easy to cook through this tome on weekdays. Recommended! I'll never look down on boiling meat again.

I'm not an expert, but I did grow up in SoCal with trips to Baja and what I've experienced does match this book. This book is very hard core, it includes making tortillas starting from dry corn and a metate! Not for the faint of heart. Even half a century ago many Mexicans bought them from tortillarias. (6 for a penny!) While a good book, many of these dishes require extensive prep work and aren't suited for singles or vegetarians.
The only caveat I have on the recipes is that Bayless is a midwesterner and loves his salt, he uses 2-4 times as much salt as compared to others.
I've read one of his other books which seemed OK, but I still want to read his first Everyday Mexican book.
