Where can I find authentic mexican recipies in english?

I am from southern California and I love, love, love real mexican food. Well, I moved to Oklahoma and I have a hard time finding REAL mexican food. I would love to make my own dishes but I can't seem to find any good recipies. Any ideas???

    Someone asked a smiliar question yesterday- you might want to check out their answers because there was quite a few! Lots of authentic recipes online and I recommend Mexico: The Beautiful Cookbook.

    How about Diana Kennedy's cookbooks? She does a great job of not only telling you what's "behind" the recipies, but of sticking to authentic ingredients and flavors. In other words, no Tex-Mex in these books, and no bizarre Americanized Mexican cooking methods!

    (I still meet people from Mexico all the time who tell me that what we consider Mexican food here is NOTHING like "real" Mexican food.)

  • The cookbooks by Rick Bayless are a great start. His recipes are authentic. Try "Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed." or "Mexican Everyday" or "Mexico: One Plate at a Time." Good luck!

    Google "Authentic Mexican Food Recipes" There are way too many that come up for me to post.

    Good Luck!

    How approximately Diana Kennedy's cookbooks? She does an excellent activity of no longer in elementary terms telling you what is "in the back of" the recipies, yet of sticking to actual ingredients and flavors. In different words, no Tex-Mex in those books, and no weird and wonderful Americanized Mexican cooking techniques! (I nevertheless meet human beings from Mexico each and every of the time who tell me that what we evaluate Mexican nutrients right here isn't any longer something like "genuine" Mexican nutrients.)

    Which recipes are you looking for, specifically? Red mole? Tamales? Sopes? Mexican home cooking?

    Unfortunately, I never find the recipes in English. They are all over the net in spanish. There are millions....which recipes are you looking for? I cook authentic mexican every other day. Hubby is from Jalisco.
