I have never been to Mexico and unfortunately my knowledge of Mexican cuisine is non-existent. But I see a trip in my future to the Baja peninsula, specifically Cabo San Lucas in the near future. I would welcome recommendations of cookbooks and/or web sites.

I love Pati Jinich and her show on PBS Create channel. She explores different areas in Mexico and focuses on the local foods.

I suggest you watch a few of these videos.

 
Earnie,

All three of the authors/videos are excellent. I've made Pati's wet shrimp tacos (very good) and checked this book out from the library (Baja California Cookbook - Exploring Mexico) by authors from the area. Was quite happy testing out new methods...even for baking beans.

Have a safe and wonderful trip.

 
I like watching Pati Jinich on PBS, and Rick Bayless still is my go-to for reasonably good recipes. His tamales and Posole Rojo still come out on Christmas Eve.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

 
Many thanks to all for the recommendations. I have Pati's Treasurer's of the Mexican Table. Wonderful book and gathering more. My trip was wonderful and I enjoyed ever morsel.
