Cookbook recommendations?
I downloaded and am really enjoying Rick Bayliss's "Mexican Everyday" cookbook. I'm learning new techniques and getting more comfortable with
ingredients that are new to me.
Any other cookbooks I might try? I am particularly interested in ones I could download to my iPad.
It might be good for me to even get one in Spanish.
Thanks in advance.

I agree! Rick Bayless's recipes are the bomb! I printed off a bunch of our favorites off the web and put in a 3-ring binder to bring down to our
house in Baja.
I highly recommend "Frida's Fiestas" by Marie-Pierre Colle. Frida was a famous artist and I believe was married to the famous Mexican muralist, Rivera
was his last name can't seem to remember his first name right now. Anyways, It's an awesome Mexican cookbook! Authentic!! Not sure if you can download
that online though. Her recipes are to die for!
happy cooking to you!!

Frida Kahlo was in fact married to Diego Rivera.

"Mexico - One Plate at a Time" also by Rick Bayless is a good one. (Don't know about downloading it.)

I recommend three other books:
The Well Filled Tortilla
Cooking With Baja Magic
Cooking With Baja Magic Dos
Frida's books are superb, and so are Chef Bayless' books. I have all of his TV shows "Mexico, One Plate At A Time" recorded on my DVR. The shows are
aired on NPR TV.

Can't find it as a download, but Amazon has it new and used. Will also look around in the stores here and see if I can find it.
Thanks BajaLuna!

I looked at this and it does come in a downloadable form, the that version gets really bad reviews as it is difficult to use. Will look for it in
paperback.
Thanks bajalinda!

Thanks Udo! Amazon has all three but sadly no Kindle version. I will look for them in bookstores here.

I agree with the Rick Bayless books (any of them) and "las fiestas de Frida y Diego"...but don't miss reading the books of Zarela Martinez, and above
all THE expert on regional Mexican cooking...Diana Kennedy, whose incredible research earned her entry to The Order of the Aztec Eagle, the highest
honor a non Mexican can achieve placing her alongside kings, queens, presidents and famous authors, humanitarians, etc. Rick Bayless was also given
this award last year.

sequoyah ,
If you ever go to Bahia de los Angeles, stop by the museum and get the cook book the locals put together. It has lots of interesting recipes, most of
them can be made with ingredients found in the local markets.

sequoyah - Sorry to hear the downloadable version of One Plate at a Time is difficult to use. Good idea to try to find it in paperback or a used
hard cover copy (or, hey, put it on your Christmas/holiday wish list!). Mine was given to me as a birthday gift and not only does it have great
recipes, it is also a beautiful book.

I knew them when they lived in La Bufadora. Nice folks.
I think they left here and went down to TS. Not sure where they are today, but I'm guessing in the states.

Let Google be your library of cookbooks of all types. Google and YouTube are a great kitchen matchup.

Somethin's Fishy in Baja (A Seafood Cookbook)
Cooking fish in Baja?
Mulege's own Patti Higgenbotham wrote a great cookbook called, 'Somethin's Fishy in Baja' a few years ago. I know she and
husband, Tom, personally tested all those recipes...from their long-time & successful fishing trips in the Sea of Cortez. Experience counts!
Here's their boat, 'Strange Lady', used to bring in the tasty dinners.
I'm pretty sure you can still find her book on Amazon.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

They had a home in the Cape region (East Cape?), but I recall they returned to her Cardiff home (San Diego County), I think? Her web site is no longer
working (BajaMagic.com) unless she changed it... If I find a newer one, I will come back and add it. We share the same web host, Dick VanBree.
Her books are for sale on Amazon:
Cooking with Baja Magic
Cooking with Baja Magic DOS (II)
You can see inside the book at the above link.

Could be, but I'd have sworn they went from here to Todos Santos. Terry is a photographer......Ann likes to write, and I think the "art community"
atmosphere was their goal.
Anyway...I guess it's all just more history.
