I ate saffron rice and chicken al mojo de ajo; I listened to son, salsa and guaguanc? as it poured from car stereos on hot days.

...Regional Cooks of Mexico (Harper & Row; 288 pages; $12.95). The result, for novice or aficionado, is a masterwork that sweeps the terrain from Chihuahua to Yucatán, from shrimps in pumpkinseed sauce to sugar-glazed flaky pastries. One could quite happily live on Diana's sopa de ajo y migas, which inadequately translates as garlic and bread-crumb soup...
