I don't really have any Hispanic cookbooks so I thought adding this one to my collection would be a good idea. It is filled with colorful pictures, and details. I love the fact that in the beginning of the book is a chart of all different kinds of peppers and the different level of spice. It really expanded my knowledge of peppers used in making salsa and mole. I didn't know there were so many different kinds! I'm looking forward to adding some apice to our next Mexican meal!
