Pretty to look at but... - Rated
I received this book as a present and was delighted at the prospects of cooking from it after reading through it.

Sadly, after trying several recipes, they all lacked any real flavor. The recipes were easy to follow and ingredients easy to come by, they just didn't add up to much.

I'm going to give a few other recipes a try and hope they'll change my mind about this cookbook.

Mouth watering pictures, great flavor and reduced fat! - Rated
This is a gorgeous cookbook with pictures that make you want to run into the kitchen and start chopping! The author's annotations on how he has modified the traditional recipes to bring them more in line with modern dietary guidelines are helpful in themselves and can be applied to other recipes. The first recipe I tried was wonderful (Red Snapper Veracruz), can't wait for more. All in all, a very thorough and healthy approach to an exciting cuisine. Thanks Stephen!
