In Fresh Mexico, Marcela Valladolid shows how refreshing and easy to prepare the foods from her native country really are, delivering vibrant flavor without forcing home cooks to source hard-to-find ingredients or spend hours chained to the stove. Crunchy beef tacos, overstuffed burritos, and processed cheese-filled quesadillas may be America's idea of Mexican food, but Marcela is ready to change that.

Dedicated to traditional foods, Marcela also understands the difficulties of feeding a family on a weeknight. Her recipes are quick to pull together, using easy-to-find ingredients and simple cooking techniques. You’ll find dishes such as Cream of Avocado Soup with Lobster and Mango, Oaxaca-Style Short Ribs, and Fresh Guava Layer Cake revelatory in their depth of flavor.

With more than 100 delicious recipes and beautiful color photography throughout, Fresh Mexico introduces a new generation of Americans to the exciting, easy cuisine of modern Mexico.

A beautiful book!
by L. Gail, OR

The book is so well illustrated. I enjoy the stories of her and her family all sharing the love of cooking and eating together. Made me homesick for San Diego and all the fresh produce offered throughout the area. G Hill Central Oregon

Worst Cookbook
by Anita, TX

Fresh Mexico was not what I expected. She used a lot of Seafood...Not the regular Mexican dishes. I was not pleased.

Not what I was expecting
by lisa, TX

I was hoping for traditional every day meals. This was more of a mexican cuisine cookbook. Squid and octopus are a little too much for me.

Not Quick and Simple
by Linda, OK

The recipes were to complicated. To many ingredients I did not have access to. No simple Mexican dishes to make like burritos, how to make tortillas, Spanish rice etc. Recipes are for experienced cooks. Don't waste your money if you are trying to learn how to make Mexican dishes that are easy.

Fantastic Book
by Sara, MA

I have been looking for a good Mexican cookbook. I saw Marcella on "Mexican Made Easy" and knew that her book would be the one for me. The recipes are amazing! I highly recommend this book and hope she releases more soon.

Cut above others
by THOMAS, IL

Not only do I enjoy eating and cooking Mexican, but I'm an avid cookbook collector. After watching a single episode of Marcella Valladolid's cooking show, I was so impressed by the dishes she prepared, that I went online right after the show and ordered her cookbook. I wasn't disappointed! First, this is a great selection of dishes of every description that sound so scrumptious, you'll want to delve in again and again to try them all! (Most cookbooks may only have a few standouts you're tempted to try.) Second, these are authentic dishes -- in many cases family treasures passed down for generations, and fully described in loving detail with beautiful illustrations. The wonderful family stories behind many of the dishes make you feel like you have a seat at the table, while her excellent, clear descriptions help you get great results the first time. And did I mention the bargain price? (Grab a copy before she gets seriously famous!!!)
