But the ratings, honors, etc. told me that this is an exceptional Mexican cookbook.

I have talked to some people that think he is a gift to Mexican food. Those same people think you have to be a celebrity to know anything about food. And use only the expensive cookware. So buyer beware.
Oh and I totally agree with your sentiment. Someone that has been doing it for years will know way more than some "celebrity" chef.
I recently found a regional cookbook from China. Actual home cooks in China.
