## What is Buena Mesa?

Put your cooking skills on the front burner with Mexico’s most comprehensive recipe trove, courtesy of Grupo Reforma's Buena Mesa.

Choose between 9,000 recipes –from everyday staples to sophisticated culinary creations from top chefs like Enrique Olvera, Patricia Quintana, Alicia Gironella, Paulina Abascal, Guillermo González Beristáin, Thierry Blouet, Alfonso Cadena, Ricardo Muñoz Zurita, Carmen Degollado, Richard Sandoval, and Antonio Márquez.

Wow your palate with this veritable smorgasbord of options, ranging from drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and entrees to desserts, salads, and dressings.

And since Mexico is our innate flavor, push the culinary envelope with regional delicacies from every corner of the country: pipián, mole poblano, cochinita pibil, papadzules, pambazos, cabrito en salsa, tasajo, birria, and chiles en nogada. And for those hankering for seafood, there’s poached lobster, tacos gobernador, salpicón de camarón, fish fillet in chili water, and "tumbada"-style rice, to name a few.

Surprise your dinner guests with mouth-watering seasonal flavors: tamales, turkey, pork leg, churros, fruitcakes, and punch for Christmas, salads, barbecues, hamburgers, fruit pies, and ice creams in the summer.

### 2/5 — Le faltan cosas

*2013-01-26*

Algunas recetas no salen bien y no hay comentarios de los usuarios sobre las recetas, como para tomarlos en cuenta para cocinar. Se puede mejorar bastante y es muy redundante como presentan la info. Tengo suscripción al periódico, pero definitivamente prefiero usar otras apps.

### 2/5 — Era muy buena !

*2012-10-22*

Esta era una app genial hasta que empezaron a cobrar, y pues la borre ! Muy caro el cobro por la subscripción solo para ver recetas !

### 1/5 — Muy cara la app¡

*2012-09-12*

Me parece excesivo el precio para esta app. Esta muy buena si, pero no para tanto. Lastima!

### 1/5 — cobro excesivo

*2012-08-17*

como aplicación es genial, lo lamentable es que ya la hicieron con cobro por obligarte a inscribirte al periodico si quieres usarla. No sirve de nada tenerla instalada Lastima!!

### 1/5 — Era una buena aplicacion... la codicia de Mural la mató

*2012-07-20*

Era una gran aplicación que extrañaré porque pagar una suscripción de $1500 pesos al periódico impreso para accesar aplicaciones en mi iPad no lo vale... que lástima !

### 1/5 — La codicia entra a la cocina

*2012-07-16*

Era una muy buena aplicación, yo lo veía como un servicio plus del Grupo Reforma a las familias mexicanas. Pero desgraciadamente ahora esta apliación también está sujeta a tener una subscripción de pago para poder tener acceso a su contenido. Es una lástima, la tendre que borrar.

### 1/5 — Es una lástima

*2012-07-04*

La información esta muy bien organizada y la app tiene buena calidad en imágenes. La disfruté mucho antes de que decidieran cobrar por la información. No vale la pena el precio de la suscripción.

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2012-03-09*

A great app. Wish they had an app of at least cuy. Using this app to show my Spanish class.

### 5/5 — RIQUISIMO!

*2012-02-29*

### 5/5 — Please make an English version

*2012-02-25*

Beautiful and well done.  I so need an english version.
