Query: overly complicated

I've owned this book for two years and every time I try to find something to cook I end up putting it down with nothing selected. The recipes are creative but overly complicated. Authentic Mexican food, in my opinion, is deliciously simple and unpretentious. If you want a definitive or authentic guide to Mexican food, don't buy this one. If you want a good read and some fairly creative American gourmet takes on Mexican food this is for you.
