From Booklist
Geographically isolated from the Mexican mainland, the Yucatan has also retained its Mayan identity, which includes a distinctive cuisine. The Gerlachs provide a brisk and informative traveler's guide to the region as an introduction to their fresh and zesty recipes. The first section features an extensive selection of salsas and seasonings. As the Gerlachs move on to appetizers, salads and soups, and a lively assortment of main dishes, drinks, and desserts, the use of nuts, seeds, chiles, and fruits and the pickling, or "sousing," of foods emerge as common denominators. Aromatic and colorful, these dishes are made with challenging but not intimidating cooking techniques. Indigenous ingredients are identified, but more readily available substitutes are always suggested. Donna Seaman

Review
Washington Daily News : "This is much more than a cookbook because it is a guide to Yucatan culture as well."
Reader Reviews
Foods Of The Maya is a highly recommended sampler of Yucatan cuisine that will intrigue any who enjoy regional cookbooks. Foods Of The Maya focuses on local versions of Mayan cooking, from Garlic Pork with Rice and Black Beans to an orange juice/allspice seasoned Motul Chicken. No photos, but the recipes don't need them.
