review 1: This book drove me nuts. I would sit down to look at recipes and find myself studying the ethnohistory of _______________ (tamales, enchiladas, churros, whatever). Don't do that to me. I am a reader. I have to read the cereal box if it's in front of me. However, when I'm picking recipes, I NEED to pick recipes. Write a history of food as its own non-fiction story or put it at the end of the recipe. It's a cookbook. Put the ingredients and recipe first.The other part is the shear intimidation factor of so many of these recipes. The recipes seem very long - think Joy of Cooking rather than 30 Minute Meals. I'm just not the Joy of Cooking type of cook.
review 2: Highly impressed.I am by no means a vegan (or vegetarian), but I am somebody who wants to eat... more less meat. Too often in the cookbooks that I've read in the past, there has been this elitist attitude for meat-eaters and non. I'm happy to say that this book does not have that problem, nor does it suffer from a lack of seasoning or spices!Ms. Romero has done a fantastic job of showing the ropes of ethnic vegan eating from a very traditionally meat-loving cuisine. Kudos are deserved for making seitan and TVP sound interesting and worth cooking. less
