More about the book

Nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe has the spirit of the Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American settlers who built it - and an exciting cuisine to match. Today's hottest Santa Fe chefs are incorporating the region's staple ingredients - rice, beans, squash and chiles - into mouthwatering new dishes. The Food of Santa Fe offers the best of New Mexico's traditional dishes and a sampling of today's cooking innovations. Introductory essays provide the historical and geographical context of the cuisine, and a glossary of unusual ingredients and illustrated how-to sections are also included.
