- A lot of recipes - a full 365 recipes give a lot of variety to select from.
- Preparation time and cooking time are included at the top of each page (under the title). This is very useful information, omitted in a lot of cooking and recipe books, that will assist you in deciding if you want to make a dish, or if you want to save it for another day when you have more time.
- Preparation steps are numbered - this makes preparation easier - and you can check the steps off as you go along.
In addition to the recipes, there are some extras in the book that you'll find useful... Towards the beginning there is a glossary of some of the foods and ingredients that are distinctly Mexican - each of these items has a rather long paragraph of information that gives you some detailed background information on the food product. Some examples of theses items would be cilantro, masa, and mole, among others.
Also, towards the end of the book you might enjoy the section called Tropical Drinks and Coolers. This is a bonus that's not included in many recipe books. In this section you'll find out how to make famous beverages of Mexican Restaurants - drinks like Margaritas and the Tequila Sunrise. Also see how to make numerous types of coolers, liquados, and sangrita.
In addition, there are non-alcoholic favorites to be enjoyed during cooler weather like Mexican hot chocolate and Mexican coffee.
