Lines: 26 One of the best Mexican cookbooks I have encountered is called _Secrets of Mexican Cooking_ by Elena Zelayata (I think it is sometimes also called _Elena's Secrets of Mexican Cooking_); however it may no longer be in print --- check your library, if you can't find it send me mail and I'll forward publisher, address, etc. Another excellent source of Mexican recipes is from either Sunset or Lane books (I forget which, although I think it is the latter) by Barbara Hansen. Ms. Hansen has been the Mexican food editor for the Los Angeles Times for many years and is one of the truly great Mexican food authorities despite her gringo heritage. In fact, most of my favorite recipes have come from her column (her byline is Borderline) in the LA Times but I guess that doesn't do you any good. Most of the food served in Mexican restuarants in the US is known as Sonora style or northern Mexican style and is found throughout the states of Baja, Sonora, Chihuahua and others. Many Mexican cookbooks deal with regional Mexican cooking and if you are not familiar with some of these other styles you may be surprised --- either :( or :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On the eighth day God created jalapeno peppers! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
