Matthew ★★★★★

The recipe for mole poblano alone was worth the price—it’s deeper and more complex than any version I’ve tried before. This book finally helped me understand how to balance dried chiles and spices the right way.

Isabella ★★★★★

I've been cooking from this for a few weeks and the sheer range is what gets me — the book traces Mexican home cooking back thousands of years, and you can feel that depth in the recipes. The photography alone made me want to start at page one and work through it.

Carter ★★★★★

The chapter on regional moles alone justifies the price—I've cooked three so far and each one tasted genuinely different from the last. It's a heavy brick of a book, but the history sections at the front are worth reading straight through.
