This is the second in our series of CD-Rom cookbooks dedicated to Everyday Regional Cuisine. These works add all the features of Multimedia to traditional cookbooks. New technologies allow us to include video clips and original songs from each country - this time, a Mexican "flavor" while you cook - all this as well as the traditional recipe card file. An innovation in cookbooks, this CD-ROM is an interactive lesson on Mexican traditional cooking. It is not only a recipe book but a tour of Acapulco Today. Several pages of text describe the seaside port and its history as well as the local life style - on the beach... Video clips include a tour of the Municipal Market and the Street market with its souvenirs of Acapulco. As you read each recipe in the Recipe Card section, you may pull up a short video clip of Rosa Elena preparing each dish. Another feature is the printed booklet that accompanies the CD-Rom. It can be used in the kitchen as a traditional recipe card file while you cook as it has a plastified cover.

A new way of "reading" is now possible through new technologies. Reading takes on a new, fuller dimension by combining text, sound and image in a truly interactive book - to be "read" on a computer. This "CD-ROM cookbook" presents a rare treat for the amateur chef, as well as a tour guide to the Mexican port city of Acapulco, combining both "software" and "cookbook", exceptional reading...
