Nothing against the recipes as I'm sure they are delicious and more authentic than a lot of what I make, but many call for lard which I won't use. I am looking forward to trying the eggplant rice casserole though. It's still worth flipping through the recipes if you enjoy cooking and want more authentic Mexican recipes.
