My exposure is limited to cookbooks by Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy, and Bayless' excellent PBS show, but even they reveal a wonderous variety not even hinted at by Mexican restaurants in the U.S. The reasons for this include the economics of the restaurant business, unadventurousness of U.S. palates, and the difficultly in obtaining Mexican ingredients in the U.S. Perhaps someday the restaurant scene will evolve to provide some Mexico's variety, but until then travel and cookbooks will be our connection to the true cuisine of Mexico.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108059997977496770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1130549456914346792005-10-28T20:30:00.000-05:002005-10-28T20:30:00.000-05:00Oh dear, now I know I really am channeling you. I...Oh dear, now I know I really am channeling you. I just left a comment on Kitchen Parade saying that I had bought an immersion blender at Costco tonight (and you mentioned them in the soup recipe). Then I come here and find you talking about this cookbook, which I ALSO bought at Costco tonight! You know what they say about great minds thinking alike. I would have loved to have met Mark Bittman, and I had read about the cookbook on a couple of blogs. Looks great to me too.Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com
