Mexican Desserts and Drinks

Do not use this book, the measurements were way off on the plovorones de naranja that the dough could not be rolled, way too wet, had to salvage it by adding dry ingredients and then they were on the dry side and lacked the orange flavor, gave it a second try with the merengues de almond and had to dump the mixture and throw out the book

I give this book 4 out of 5 Stars because it does not have any pictures. I myself am a picture person. I like to see how a food I make can be displayed, and more important how it should look once done. This book has good old traditional recipes, of course once a person moves to the States certain ingrediants must change, but may of theses recipes are as close to authentic as they get. The instructions are easy enough for anyone to follow. I use this book often to make desserts for family get togethers, and the one thing I always here is, "Who taught you to make Pan Dulce, or Flan de Cafe?" Although these desserts may be easy to make but not many people take the time to continue making them when it is so easy to go a grociery store and buy something similar. Of course anything home made tastes better than store bought. It all depends on how much effort and work you want to put into it.
