Hello, fellow Chile-Headers:) I am finally de-lurking after about 4
months here. I just wanted to recommend a wonderful Mexican cookbook bye
the name of
_Cocina de la Familia-, by Marilyn Tausend (N.Y. Simon&Schuster, 1997).
Marilyn grew up as the daugher of a produce broker and traveled with her
father all over California and the Southwest. While in the fields,
Mexican women took her under their wing and taught her real home-style
Mexican cooking, utilizing chiles to the max.

The book is a fun read, too: she visits Mexican American families all
over the U.S.A who have a local reputation of being good cooks, and
wherever possible, obtains recipes. In addition, she has visited many
little corner/hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants (even one in a car
wash!) which have excellent reputations with the local Mexican
population, and has pursuaded many to divulge their recipes, as well.

I hope you all enjoy this wonderful, recenty-published book that shows
chiles off to their best advantage.

Ron Hay,
Van Nuys, CA
