What a surprise to see such a creative Southwest cookbook. The recipes are not only healthy but sparkle with the zesty flavors of "red rock country." I made the soft-cheesy crackers Wiseman calls "Devil's Kisses" and was dazzled with the great flavor and the zesty touch of chipotle heat, caught me off guard. Indeed a pleasant surprise. As for the photography, what more appealing photos could you ask for. Whomever this fellow Chris Marchetti is he sure knows how to take food shots. This book should be on the shelves and in the kitchens for a long time. I hope Wiseman does another. Pennigan
