Authentic Recipes from Santa Fe (Authentic Recipes Series)

Having read and tried recipes from several NM/Santa Fe cookbooks, I feel this one is the one to get. This is the authentic stuff. Although a Californian, I'm a NM visitor and southwest food enthusiast. I grow chiles, mail order what I can't grow properly, make my own tortillas, take this stuff seriously.The recipes for Carne Adovada, Green Chile Stew,Chicken Enchilada filling, Piquin Chile Salsa are totally great and, if you have the ingredients, very simple. The Carne Adovada recipe, while non-traditional, is off the dial. If you've visited Santa Fe and want to re-live the essence of this earthy, elemental cuisine, get this book.Directions are simple and direct, pictures are beautiful, local ingredients info and historical background is great. First rate.

After returning from a trip to Santa Fe this book and it's recipes kept me there a bit longer. Had to have it to add to my cookbook collection.

I lived in New Mexico for over 25 years, and I find it difficult to recognize most of the recipes in this book as "authentic." Perhaps even more to the point, there is no recipe for rolled and stuffed enchiladas, which are a staple of northern NM cooking. On the plus side, the photographs are terrific.

Timeless recipes. Carne adovada, red and green chile enchiladas, other awesome and authentic recipes. So hard to find great new Mexican cooking outside of New Mexico, so why not default to cooking it yourself using this book and wowing your guests?

I used this book to stage several kitchens on homes I was selling. It looks great in pictures and also for showings when it's in a book holder (not included) on the counter.. Very colorful book, great recipes.

has some interesting recipes. Not my favorite cookbood

What I expected

My wife bought first book in Santa Fe. Liked so well she ordered this copy for a gift.
