Roberto Santibaņez Roberto Santibaņez

Roberto Santibaņez's Truly Mexican cookbook, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. has finally arrived. Written with JJ Goode and Shelley Wisman, Roberto's personality and desire for everyone to share his love of cooking his native food shines through in his recipes. Take time to read his introduction and basics. You will also see recipes from some of our other friends, Ricardo Munoz, Ana Elena Martinez, Maria Dolores Torres Izabel, Fany Gerson, Josefina Santacruz, and Iliana de la Vega to name a few.
