Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Publications International publishes a number of budget-priced cookbooks, such as "Light Cooking: Mexican." I used to buy quite a few of their cookbooks but stopped after awhile. The cookbooks certainly aren't the worst on the market, but they are often below par. "Cooking Light: Mexican" is typical in that regard. On the positive side, all the recipes are accompanied with attractive full-color pictures as well as full nutritional information.
However, the recipes are usually just a bit off. A good example is the Tostadas - the recipe says to make the tostada shells with flour tortillas browned in the oven. This is wrong for a number of reasons: 1) tostadas are usually made with corn tortillas, 2) the flour tortillas bubble in the oven, making it almost impossible to spread the beans evenly, and 3) corn tortillas are lower in fat and calories than flour tortillas, making them a more appropriate choice for a light cookbook. I made a few recipes from this cookbook but won't make any more. "Cooking Light: Mexican" is not a terrible cookbook, especially at a budget price. However, there simply are many better light Mexican cookbooks on the market.
