Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico, by Rick Martínez

Go ahead and judge this book by its cover, because what looks exciting on the outside is just a teaser for what’s on the inside. No matter your level of cooking, you’ll savor the flavors, ingredients, techniques, and stories Martínez shares from his home in the heart of Mexico. The mole, the adobo sauces, the tortillas…start somewhere and see where it leads. Your friends and family will thank you!  —Jenny
