 One Fantastic Resource January 9, 2007

My wife and I love this book for its simplicity in preparing complex flavors. We have one other Bayless cookbook and loved the recipes in it, but wanted recies that weren't quite as time intensive. This is the perfect balance.
And it inspired us to try Frontera Grill over New Years, and it was all we'd hoped.

If you want an easy way to save money with delicious food, this is the book for you. The ingredients in Mexican food are so cheap, yet the flavors can be quite complex. This Chicago institution describes each ingredient and where you can get some of the more exotic ones. All of the dishes take advantage of some of the savory flavors possible with Mexican sauces and spices.

He is an amazing chef! This book is wonderful from start to finish.
You cannot read this book, watch his show on PBS, or cook his dishes, without developing a yearning to move to Mexico!

I really enjoy the way Rick presents cooking and his recipes. Much can be learned about an author's philosophy of cooking and eating by reading the introduction. This is one of the best I've read. I am less interested in what people may consider authentic than I am in recipes that are usable and provide results that I like and I can serve guests. That is the case with Mexican Everyday. At first I was put off by the lack of some of the old standby recipes then I read the introduction about everyday eating as compared to feasting. This book is about food that most anyone can prepare for a weeknight meal. The ingredients are easy to find and he lists alternatives to speed things up. He also knows the value of a slow cooker, something that most cookbook authors seem to miss. His recipe and instructions for slow cooker beans has become my standard. They're superb! He has a nice section on basic supplies for your pantry which really helps when you've got to put a dinner on the table in under an hour. The Pineapple Skillet Upside-Down cake that was a real life-saver recently when we had unexpected dinner guests. It was fast, easy, simple and delicious. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for an easy to use cookbook that does not include a lot of exotic recipes with complex ingredients.
