Tamales 101: A Beginner's Guide to Making Traditional Tamales
by Alice Guadalupe Tapp Reviewed by Chef Jim Berman "Step-by-step and taste-by-taste, Tapp leads us from selecting the
ingredients, pairing up the right components with their respective sauce,
assembly and cooking methods as well as freezing, serving and reheating
those precious corn-husk wrapped dandies. And did I mention she sprinkles
some rituals, lure and shortcuts amidst the 190 pages of fundamental
instruction?"
Tamales by Mark Miller, Stephan Pyles, and John Sedlar (Wiley 2002)
Reviewed by Cheri Sicard, Fabulous Food.
"Tamales are a fabulous blank canvas for the creative cook. Miller, Pyles
and Sedlar's book truly turns tamale making into the culinary adventure it
was always meant to be — breaking ethnic and flavor barriers and
definitely thinking far outside the box."
Doña Tomás: Discovering Authentic Mexican Cooking
by Thomas Schnetz and Dona Savitsky (Ten Speed Press 2006)
Review by Russ
Harvey "There are many,
many good Mexican cookbooks out there. … Some, like Diana Kennedy, I use
as reference books, some I use for menu ideas, some inspire me just with
the photography. ..Doña Tomás I found especially satisfactory because of
the results I got; I was able to recreate a restaurant meal experience for
a crowd. I always look at the cookbooks for restaurants I frequent;
knowing what I'd like the results to be gives me a benchmark for both the
recipes and my cooking. I had the time to devote a full day to working on
a bunch of recipes, all previously untried. The fact that they all worked
for both me, and my guests, is the basis of this recommendation." |
