Agave Sunsets: Treasured Tales Of Baja is a memorable compilation of Baja anecdotes by Ann Hazard in a celebration of the heart and life of Mexico. From "Boys ' Beer in Baja" and "Dirt Roads in the Dark", to Baja's Exotic Wine Country" to "I've Got Todos Santos on My Mind", these engaging and entertaining stories are told in a personable tone, and illustrated with color photographs. A flavorful piece of Mexican life and culture, Agave Sunsets is highly recommended reading!

I've been traveling in Baja for thirty years. Ann has captured the essence of the Baja experiance, both of the land and the people who enjoy it. A wonderful book!

I was so disappointed in this book, especially after reading the reviews of others. Perhaps the author wrote the book for people who have no access to ingredients typically used in Mexican cookery, which 10 years ago might have been somewhat an excuse, but today, authentic Mexican ingredients are widely available. To those interested in real Mexican cuisine, there are much better choices, with this caveat; it's really too bad the author chose not to give us authentic recipes, as the cooking in this particular region of Mexico has not been covered well, and I have searched extensively.

The student and traveler to Mexico often returns home craving the tastes they experienced in Baja California. Ann's cookbook will compliment anyone's kitchen. From the appetizers to the salsas to the carnitas to the margaritas, with a little musica norteña, una fría and this cookbook, you can have a 'virtual' visit to Baja California. Recommended.

The receipes are great. The only care to take is that the portions are big. The stories are great.
