Publishers Text

New Mexico cuisine is unique, with assertive flavours, bright colours and a sassy taste. Today the rich fusion of many culinary arts has created foods that are a blend of Spanish, Tex-Mex, Mexican, Pueblo Indian, French, cowboy chuck wagon and Mediterranean. The surprising results of the melding of these traditional and imported specialities, in unusual combinations, are found nowhere else in the world. Each of the cultures that are a part of this state's colourful history has contributed to this warm, savoury cuisine. This book offers an excellent introduction to these foods as well as the cultural traditions that provided them. The user-friendly recipes range from traditional favourites to new ones designed for today's quick and convenient lifestyle. Recipes include appetisers, salads, soups, breads, tortillas, main dishes, vegetables, side dishes, chilli, sauces, salsa, desserts, cookies and candy. A separate section covers high altitude cooking. This book clearly presents the uniqueness of New Mexico food and why the state is indeed the Land of Enchantment.
