Salsas and Moles: Fresh and Authentic Recipes for Pico de Gallo, Mole Poblano, Chimichurri, Guacamole, and More [A Cookbook] Kindle Edition

I love true Mexicna food (as opposed to Tex-Mex or Cal-Mex), but have found it near impossible to find a vegetarian Mexican cookbook. A chef friend wisely suggested this book. She said, "If you can make killer salsas & moles, you're halfway to becoming a great Mexican chef!" I was skeptical, but having tried a half dozen of these recipes I must say: I've upped by game by several notches. Sometimes we overlook the small stuff, but in this case by focusing only on sauces every dish tastes better. I highly recommend this book for all lovers of Mexican food, vegetarian or not.

I have tried several of Deborah Schneider's salsa recipes and love them!! I have several other Mexican cookbooks and have to say that those salsa recipes I've tried are below average whereas Deborah Schneiders are all fantastic! If you enjoy Mexican food this book is a must. I was hesitant to buy it because I do have so many salsa recipes in the Mexican cookbooks I already own, well I'm happy I decided to get it :) Btw, her other cookbook: Mexican Slow cooker is my favorite cookbook so far, which I use the most frequently - that woman can do no wrong!

This review is for the Kindle version. It might well be a good book, but the formatting in the Kindle version is so awful that it's hard to tell.I took a chance on this thinking it might lay out OK using the Kindle reader on my computer rather than using the Kindle itself, but no go. It would be very frustrating trying to make a recipe from this thing.

Have made about 8 of the salsas from the book thus far two/three times each. Very pleased with the recipes - I find most of the shop bought salsa too sweet for my taste. These are Delicious. Love the chipotle based recipes in particular. Have even started doubling up the recipes and canning some of it so we have fresh salsa over winter.You will probably have to adjust the spice heat levels to taste for some recipes either by swapping a chilli for a hotter variety or increasing the amount, it covers all of that in the book, easy enough to experiment.Some great cooks tips on rebalancing flavours if it’s not quite right.

Growing up my mom would always make these amazing salsas and moles. She would create these masterpieces without a recipe. Even now as an adult- I try to recreate those recipes and she says to just add “a pinch of this, a pinch of that/ a cup here or there/ and a spoon of this.” I struggled, since I wanted to prefect the salsa and needed measurements to follow. This book allows just that- it gives you a guideline where you can start your base salsa recipe and expand it to make it your own. I also enjoyed reading the history and learning the difference between each pepper and the best methods on how to cook with them. I do wish the book provided images of each salsa; nonetheless, it’s a great base recipe book.

I've always liked what I called Mexican cooking. I guess it was Tex Mex at first. I've been buying cookbooks and looking for a certain flavor for years but it took this lady being explicit on how to add tomatoes into a chili sauce to temper it. Now I've got an authentic (to me) tasting Ancho cumin roasted garlic and tomato sauce thats great with chicken and pork and a tomato guajillo garlic hot sauce that is awesome.

The recipes seem good. If you are just trying to get a understanding this is a good place to start. But my only fight here is that their is only 1 chimichurri recipe. As if it was an afterthought. This book covers the basics but doesn't delve as deep as I would have hoped. I will most likely update my review as I make said recipes.

Very well made book with delicious recipes and serving suggestions.Beautiful photography. A must have for fresh salsa lovers( this book is about fresh salsas and moles, look elsewhere for canning recipes.) My personal favorite.
