This cover is fairly good. Colorful and with interesting title work. The photo used is from one of the recipes found within.
This was a yummy little cookbook. I had some great photos of both the recipes and the people and places of Mexico. We begin with an introduction by the author and a brief history of Mexican ice creams. Followed by a few pages devoted to different types of ingredients and equipment. The book is broken down into the following chapters (Sorbets, Classic Mexican Ice Creams, Modern Mexican Ice Creams, Spicy and Boozy Flavors, Cones, Toppings, and Sauces.)
