This is an excellent compendium of Robert McGrath's favorites. His Roaring Fork in Scottsdale has gained a wonderful reputation and deservedly so. Now this book shows how many of his magic tricks are performed. In addition to the recipes, it is beautifully illustrated with western scenes.

This review is from: American Western Cooking: From the Roaring Fork (Hardcover)
My wife and I ate at the Roaring Fork last year while on vacation. It's a fine resaurant featuring American Southwestern food. I liked it but wasn't bowled over. So I was unprepared for how remarkably good the food in this cookbook is. I own over 100 cookbooks, and this is one of the very best.
The food is nuanced, sophisticated, yet very homey and comfortable. Imagine Grilled Shrimp with Chipolte-Creamed Leaks on a Golden Cornmeal Cake or Pan-Fried Trout with a Salad of Spring Melons and Green Onions. The first thing my wife and I tried was Grilled Rib Eye Steak and Blueberry Barbecue Sauce with Roasted-Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The steak sits on a nest of roasted green beans, red onions, and corn. If you are salivating by now, this cookbook isn't for you. If you are a reasonably experienced cook, Robert McGrath has a treat in store for you. It is one of those cookbooks that you will want to cook through from one end to the other.
