I purchased this book several years ago from the Jr League of Albuquerque. I am now ordering one for my daughter. It has lots of great regional dishes from New Mexico and lots of other great dishes as well. I collect cook books and this is a great one.

A favorite of mine. My first introduction to this book was on a trip to Albuquerque many, many years ago. Since then, I have purchased 6 of these books and given 5 as gifts. Great recipes.

One thing that I particularly like about this book, which may be a surprise to some, is that not all the old fashioned *fat* ingredients have not been taken out of the recipes, and the book not entirely updated to reflect low fat "healthy" foods. I like to eat healthy but once in a while a good, old fashioned recipe with the yummy bad ingredients is just plain good. You can easily eliminate fats yourself but I enjoy the authentic recipes. I can modernize them myself.

Love this book.

This book is loaded with classic southwestern recipes. I love mine and regularly purchase these as gifts for friends and family. A lot of the recipes have become regular favorites for my family. There are a lot of easy to prepare tasty meals in here with that southwestern flair Albuqueruque is known for. The best thing about the book though is that the Junior League of Albuquerque benefits from it's sale allowing them to continue their mission to end hunger in New Mexico.

We lost our original through multiple moves and are delighted to have it back again. The Carne Adovada is just right.
