 Cafe Pasqual's: Recipes from Santa Fe March 8, 2007

Excellent recipes and instructions with sources for ingredients identified for Southwest dishes.
 Glad I bought it, but... January 8, 2007

It is not as good as the first one. The first book had recipes that I have used over and over, but this one did not have the same appeal. Still love the restaurant though, and can't wait to go back.

The review I did for Ms. Kagel's previous book was entitled: Can You Fall In Love With A Cookbook? Well, the answer was yes and is yes. It is difficult to believe it has been a decade since the last wonderful book was published. In those years I have matured as a cook/baker and it appears Cafe Pasqual has matured, but in a good way. The recipes in this volume are a little different with a bit of Malaysia, Thailand and the exotic East thrown in for good measure. However, to be honest, it is the Southwest recipes I will probably enjoy again and again.
The recipes you will find in this beautifully photographed book (the color is to die for)offer something for everyone. I gave the recipe for Linda's Golden Granola to a co-worker today and she rushed home after work to make some. She's a Yoga instructor, by the way, and vegetarian, of course.
My particular favorite at the moment is the fantastic Red Chile & Sugar-Cured Bacon. If you have been bored to death with breakfast and haven't been able to find a recipe to rock your world in the morning, look no further. I made this yesterday (I pre-ordered the book and got it last week) and got rave reviews from my brunch guests. You simply MUST try this unique and wonderful recipe. Beyond yummy.
Tonight I made the Shortbread Cookies and used my Scotty Dog and Cat cookie cutters. They turned out great. You can never have enough shortbread recipes. Great with Tea.
This week I will be making the Moroccan Eggplant with Cilantro, Ginger & Garlic. I can almost smell the aroma!
This wonderful book has it all. Fantastic recipes for:
Breakfast, Soups, Salads, Lunch, Appetizers, Dinner, and Dessert. You can go on-line to their website and order a wide array of their signature goodies, as well as their fab T-shirts, coffees and other great items. There is also information at the back of the book on how you can order spices and other items mentioned in the book, from companies all over the US. So you can't use the excuse: My store doesn't have these ingredients. You will find them listed for you. Ms. Katherine has thought of everything!
The cover photograph is festive and beautiful, colorful, inviting, warm and homey. At some point in the next couple of years, I will definitely be dropping in at Cafe Pasqual to meet Katherine Kagel and staff, and also enjoy some of the dishes that are represented in this wonderful book. Can't wait! However, you don't have to wait. Just order this book right now and spend an evening just sitting on the sofa going through page after colorful page. Yes, you CAN fall in love with a cookbook! I have. Twice.
Love the restaurant, love the book. August 1, 2006

My husband surprised me by purchasing this cookbook for me after one of our many trips to Santa Fe. We ALWAYS go to Pasqual's when in Santa Fe. The recipes are easy to follow, though some of the ingredients are a little tough to get in central Ohio. (But with the internet anything is possible these days.) The first recipe I tried was the Mac and Cheese (with poblanos). Wow...a real crowd pleaser. The Yellow Roasted Pepper and Fennel Salad was a refreshing change from the "usual" summer salad options. I made the Red Chili and Sugar Cured Bacon for a southwest themed brunch....Very popular. I should have made 2x more than I did. The Chinese Hacked Chicken was also really good. It was great as leftovers in the lunch box. Some of the recipes have very long lists of ingredients but don't let that deter you. It is so worth the effort. I can hardly wait until fall to make the Sugar Pumpkins filled with Vegetable Stew in Chipotle Cream Sauce.
