Fred -- I have "The Art of Mexican Cooking" by Diana Kennedy, and it is one of my tomes. I absolutely love it -- it is the first place that I ever heard of the chile pasilla de Oaxaca. I have made the salsa to which you refer many, many times, always to rave reviews. Really, anything that you make with this chile will be fabulous. Matt ------------------------------------- T.
