Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico

By far, one of the best cookbooks I own. From easy reference to key chiles used in Oaxacan dishes via a photo in the book, to learning the staples and preparing them (like black beans and masa), I peruse this book often. And there are a few dishes I make on the regular. So delicious and authentic!

Just received my book! What a beautiful book.. can’t wait to make some of these delicious recipes..

I purchased this for my son for Christmas. He loves this cookbook. He has perfected Mole'- this sits on his counter and is his go to cookbook. The directions are easy to follow and the book itself is beautiful. The notes of love to Mexican culture provides a wonderful read as well.

Such a unique book. Colorful cover and pictures. The recipes are nicely written. The author is listened to on a podcast and enjoyed her story Overall a very informative and well put mexican cookbook, specially my favorite region Oaxaca!!!!

This book isn’t for beginners. Intricate details that only experienced cooks can follow or maybe work it out as a family. Also, while the book carries wonderful recipes, the publishing company left far too many pages with unnecessarily small text in this; blank spots and some blank pages. Like, this book could have been printed and published better. But maybe if you purchase this book, you can use the blank spaces for notes while cooking. Or is it my copy that’s only like this?

Fabulous cookbook and meals. Gave it to my son as a gift and he loves it…delicious Oaxacan recipes, beautiful to look at…approachable format.

This is a beautiful book with high quality pictures and print. It is full of authentic, and easy to follow recipes. I would not recommend it for a beginner cook, but it doesn’t require a professional either. This is one of my favorite books in my kitchen right now.

Really enjoyed the culture associated with recipes! So many wonderful and delicious recipes that I’m so excited to try. Especially the hot chocolate!

Delicious and authentic

A la persona a quien lo regalé me dijo que le encantó. Por ende, lo recomiendo.

Simply has helped me cook proper Mexican food abroad. Great techniques and passion to share of the author.

Great book, covers all aspects you would want and looks super authentic.

Much more than a cookbook. It has beautiful photos, stories, history, and of course great recipes.
