“"When an expert like Rick Bayliss... decides to riff on traditional themes, get your hands on his work. Rick's recipes are flawless, and his variations alone are worth the cover price. Bravo to a pro who knows it all and still gets a kick out of sharing it with us."”

"Once again, Rick Bayless demonstrates that Mexican cooking is endlessly delicious, spirited, and rooted in a brilliant, generous culture. His Mexican repertory is irresistible, but he gives you more than recipes here. His approach to building simple, healthy, affordable meals every day is spot-on and is a great way to approach any cuisine, every day." -- Judy Rodgers, author of The Zuni Cafe Cookbook "Serious, authentic, superbly researched, Mexican Everyday is the book that I will take with me to Mexico when I go to my apartment there next winter!" -- Jacques Pepin, author of Fast Food My Way "Some of the most memorable, delicious foods I have eaten were lovingly prepared by Rick Bayliss. I look forward to trying to emulate this great chef/innovator with this wonderfully accessible cookbook." -- John Mahoney, Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater Company, star of NBC's Frasier
