"Diana Kennedy is the most serious food writer in Mexico, but what many people won’t knowuntil they read this bookis that she’s an extraordinary cook of all sorts of cuisines. Cooking casually with her at home is to know her keen palate and deep understanding of how food works. It’s also great fun."

"Diana’s recipe for her most personal cookbook includes equal parts passion, creativity, and humor, with a soupçon of provocation. I love the way she’s so blunt in her comments about food and the food world, her bêtes noires, in this bookit’s exactly the way we cooks talk to each other in private, and it rarely gets into our books."

"Nothing Fancy gives us access to the razor-sharp wit and wisdom of one of the great intuitive cooks of our time. Diana Kennedy knows more than you and me, and perhaps the most important reason isnow, listen up, all you good home and professional cooksshe knows how to use salt, which could hardly be more important. Diana was long ago crowned the queen of the cocina, the uncompromising magician of not only Mexican food but of everything she touches."
