Well I was supposed to do this yesterday but as you can see from my last post I sort of missed yesterday. Started feeling really tired at about 10:30 a.m. and it kept going. I ended up going up to bed at like 6:30 and not waking up till 12 hours later!

So I give you my Cinco de Mayo Cookbook review!

We don’t want no stinking Chi Chi’s or tacos in a box.. no, we want the real thing! And if it is the real thing that you want then The Art of Mexican Cooking  by Diana Kennedy is for you!

This is the beloved classic cookbook back in print after nearly 20 years! I have to say when I received this book I was surprised, I wasn’t expecting it to be so thick!! This book covers everything!!!  Soups, corn, seafood, poultry, pork, beef, eggs and cheese, breads and tortillas and of course.. desserts!!

AND IT’S ALL THE REAL DEAL!

No reaching for that box of tortilla shells, make em’ yourself, and with step by step photos  along the way you can do it with ease! Diana Kennedy truly puts the art into Mexican cooking… (and no Isela.. you can’t have this one..not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!!)
