Bring the vibrant, festive spirit of Mexico into your kitchen with this beloved classic from Sunset Books. The Sunset Mexican Cook Book has been a trusted favorite for generations, with the original edition selling over a million copies and introducing countless home cooks to the joys of south-of-the-border cuisine.

This comprehensive guide makes Mexican cooking easy, approachable, and fun — no special equipment or hard-to-find ingredients required. Using staples readily available in most supermarkets, you'll prepare everything from street-style snacks to hearty main dishes and refreshing desserts.
