Great Book

Came quick and has amazing recipes. The used quality was just as indicated by seller.

One the Southwest's most famous restaurants

I remember eating at the Pink Adobe before it was so fashionably famous; Santa Fe gets a lot of celebrity visitors and the Pink Adobe is a favorite spot to see and be seen.The recipes are gourmet, but also typical of the Southwest; Posole (hominy and pork stew), Gazpacho, Turkey Mole. There are a lot of good salad recipes here, too. Many of them have a lot of mayonnaise, so are adaptable to low-carb diets. And there is a good discussion of chiles, from Anaheim, Poblano to Pequin and how to roast a green chile, skin it and freeze it for use later. If you like Southwestern cooking, which is spicy but not like Tex-Mex, this may interest you.

It's the Best

This is by far the best cook book, southwest or therwise, I have ever owned. The pages are falling out now, but trust me, if you can get a copy, you will receive rave reviews for your cooking. It's simple and elegant, for everyday or entertaining. Fix the chicken enchiladas and black beans and rice - everyone will want your secret! GET THIS BOOK!

Simply succulent, easy southwest cooking from a pro!

I first learned of the "Pink Adobe" from a television segment on PBS entitled "Great Chefs", Ms. Murphy was a featured guest. She made cooking look simple and easy, combining fresh, quality ingredients to create a finished product in what seemed like no time at all. I bought the "Pink Adobe Cookbook" and fell in love with the easy to follow recipes that utilized fresh quality ingredients to perfection. The variety of recipes is good. I once prepared a buffet of everything from appetizers, main courses, stews, and desserts only using Ms. Murphy's book. Great for those who like adventure in cooking and eating!
