The Good:Lots of pretty picturesClear instructionsThe Bad:"The Book of Mexican Foods" by Christine Barrett lacks culturally important and interesting Mexican dishes. The book includes dubious Mexican recipes such as " Eggs With Potatoes & Ham" and others, while leaving out the following common and important dishes: menudo, barbacoa, chili rellenos, and pork rinds. I have owned this book for over ten years and have yet to use it.
