From Library Journal

Milliken and Fenniger are the chef/owners of the popular Border Grill in Los Angeles and authors of City Cuisine (LJ 2/15/89), which featured recipes from their first restaurant. Their new book offers the lusty, zesty dishes they serve at the Border Grill, featuring their unique interpretation of Mexican cooking: e.g., Mushroom and Epazote Soup, Tortilla-Wrapped Fish, and Chocolate Espresso Flan. The text is as lively as the recipes. Fun and engaging, this is recommended for most collections.
