[.ca] Mexican Cooking Essentials For Dummies: Let The Stars Of ... (ISBN 0762413999)

where's the salsa?:
I guess I'm a dummy...I assumed that a Mexican ESSENTIALS cookbook would include salsa, guacamole, and mole recipes. The recipes they DO have sound wonderful, but frequent references are made to "Red Roasted Tomato Salsa" and "Fresh Salsa" and the flyleaf even promises I will learn how to make green tomatillo salsa and guacamole "in simple steps"; the back cover mentions Smoky Chicken Quesadillas and Mexican Bread Pudding. My dumb brain can't find those recipes anywhere in the book...and my mouth is ready to eat. Check your book before you buy.

Love This Book!:
With respect to the other reviewer of this book, I've made both the bread pudding and the quesadillas - maybe there's a new edition of the book and these recipes were omitted? I've had my copy for a few years. Every recipe I've made from this book has been wonderful and has gotten rave reviews. My only complaint is that sometimes it's hard to find the ingredients. I live in a fairly small town in Indiana, and I have to make special trips whenever I make something from this book. It's worth it, though - everything's been fantastic! Fresh Mexican food is sooo good!
