Anyone who prepares a lot of Mexican food at home will want to pick up an excellent cookbook, Spicy Salsas & Moles: A Cookbook for Lovers of Mexican Heat by Ericka Sanchez and Nicole Presley. Even though it’s a small, short book, it’s filled with all of the sauces and salsas we need to make our Mexican dishes over the top. This cookbook includes several kinds of basic salsas, as well as moles that can be used in dishes or used to garnish or accompany good Mexican food.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow and suitable for everyone – beginning cooks and advanced cooks. The recipes call for easy-to-find ingredients, mostly available at regular mainstream grocery stores. Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful, professional photograph which showcases these must-make accompaniments to any Mexican food. The authors also include information on what the particular sauces should be served with.
There are plenty of tips and hints included, insuring great success. The recipes are very appealing, and will make readers want to make them all. Grilled pineapple salsa is incredibly good and I made it to go with some pork tacos. I also loved the Pueblo Style Mole, a traditional mole containing Mexican chocolate; it has a long list of ingredients but the final result is very worth it. The pico de gallo is also excellent.

All told, this is an excellent cookbook and a good addition to a recipe collection.
