- This is a great addition to your cooking library for those that are interested in spicing up their culinary repertoire! Whats great about he WS "Essentials" collection is that they also add in a wealth of information about the cuisine and ingredients of local regions, which is good for those people that don"t just want a "recipe book" but that really want to know more about what makes latin-cooking special. Another nice thing about this collection is that nearly every recipe, if not all recipes, have a picture tied to them. This book delivers on the high quality photos and beautiful settings.
