If you were one of the thousands who bought and loved the first Cooking With Baja Magic, you will be swept away by Ann?s newest book! Ann says: "The original Cooking With Baja Magic was published in 1997 and reflected my life and travels up to that point. In the intervening years, I have had the opportunity to further explore this magnificent peninsula and meet some amazing people. In 2003, my husband Terry and I sold our houses in San Diego and La Bufadora and moved to Buena Vista, midway between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas on the Sea of Cortez. Since then, we have traveled extensively and learned much about our adopted country. The life here suits us perfectly. "I always felt more at home in Mexico than in the US and for years I pondered why. Now I know. I now know that my heart is Mexican. Mi corazón es Mexicano. That is why I am here and I believe that because I am in Baja, the experiences I share now in Baja Magic Dos are more authentic. I?ve also added 80 new recipes ? some that I?ve created, many that I?ve discovered and several that were given to me by talented Baja chefs. There are lots more surprises too ? more stories, all new art, and more historical and culinary information. There are now 50 restaurant recipes from 31 Baja eateries and two from our favorite US Mexican restaurants." New recipes from old favorites from the first Baja Magic include Tío Pablo?s in Los Barriles, Pancho?s in Cabo, Caffé Todos Santos and the Buena Vista Beach Resort. Eighteen of Baja?s hottest hotels, restaurants and bars are contributing for the first time here. They are: Hussongs and Taquería Mexico (Ensenada), Pueblo Bonito (Cabo), Posada la Poza and Hotel California (Todos Santos), El Chilar, Hotel Tropicana, Brisas del Mar and Buzzard?s (San Jose del Cabo), El Corral and Rancho Buena Vista (Buena Vista), Tacos Los Barriles (Los Barriles), Ray´s Place (Mulege), Isla Loreto (Loreto), Mr. Azucar´s (La Paz) and the Giggling Marlin (Bahía de los Sueños). The chef on the Spirit of Endeavor, a small cruise ship that sails between Cabo, La Paz and Loreto shared a recipe. Her favorite stateside Mexican restaurants, Las Olas (in her former hometown of Cardiff, CA) and Chapala (in her current summer hometown of McCall, ID) also inspired recipes. As you browse through the book, reading the stories and recipes, before you know it your mouth will be watering, your shoes will be off and your toes will be tapping. C?mon. Crank up some tunes. Cast off the cares of our crazy world and imagine yourself in a simpler, gentler place ? a place of endless empty hills, sunny skies and see-through aquamarine water teeming with tropical fish. You have been transported to Baja. Tonight you?re serving dinner under a palapa by the Sea of Cortez. Tonight you?re celebrating life with people you love!« less
