I am a manic collector. So of course I couldn't resist this cook book from the series "Beste Rezepte", the cute, handy small edition. I own them all, except for the chocolate one and the fishy one, because I don't really like chocolate or fish.

And, apparently, I don't really like Mexican Food either. Which is funny, because I always enjoy going to mexican restaurants. But the recipes in this book contain too much meat for my taste, or are too fatty, or they contain avocados, which I love, but can't eat. So, a nice book (the whole series is recommendable), but I have tried out only very few recipes from this book, and have only very few left to try. For someone who really liked Mexican food, this is a good book, though.

It's a small book, so there is no jabber, but I would like a few sentences about the dish. It goes right into ingredients, prep, with a picture. I found like 10 recipes I want to try, which is a good score.
