I bought this as a gift for woman who spent time in Yucatan. She was excited to find a recipe for the dishes she loved while there.

If this is the little book published by The University of New Mexico Press, well, I have never in 70 years read a more poorly written book. Apparently the U. of NM Press DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PROOFING OR CHECKING DATA FOR CORRECTNESS. Within 20 minutes of opening this book and flipping through it, I found over 35 mistakes and ridiculous entries, i.e., non-existent food names. How can you trust such a poorly written/edited book to provide you with accurate recipes?
If you are foolish enough to try out ANY of these recipes, you do so at your peril!
I contacted The Press and they brushed me off - so.............

I am currently cooking my way through this book. This is a perfect book for me because I'm on a diet and focusing on wholesome, unprocessed foods. Yes, Mexican food is actually healthy once you break out of the Tex-Mex rut. This book is full of recipes featuring spicy salsas, fresh vegetables and diverse meats cooked with very little fat. My next meal will be Yucatan shredded venison as soon as I can find venison.
