Customer Reviews

Love it; my dog-eared copy is stained with chiles and guac

I learned a lot from this book and have favorite recipes I've used more than 20X. Although I was born in Southern California and raised by a family with many ties to the Southwest, I was the first in the family to cook Posole, Albondigas, and *really* good black beans. There is a good mix of easy and more complex recipes. A trip to your local latino grocery will provide everything you need - and the SMELLS of what you are cooking from this book work way better than any love potion. Enjoy this one!

So Far So Good

I have tried the green chili recipe and love it. Looking forward to trying many others. Fun book to read as well.

Yum

I make a point of visiting Cafe Pasqual's each time I am come to Santa Fe. This cookbook is excellent . The recipes are concise and delicious and the artwork in the book is beautiful. I only wish they had a second cookbook focusing strictly on the killer breakfast menu at the Cafe. Hmm...

Mexican Cooking At Its Best

I just happened to walk into Pasqual's Restaurant in Santa Fe and experienced one of the best authentic Mexican meals in town.The cookbook reflects the author's philosophy of fresh ingredients, pure flavor and originality.
