 The BEST SW cookbook ever! January 17, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I live in a tiny town in southern Colorado and have LOTS of company. This cookbook has given me an arsenal of impressive and easy-to-make "border" dishes that give my guests an authentic taste of the Southwest. People always love the food, and I must have given a dozen copies of this cookbook as gifts.
lip-smacking good October 30, 2003

The Jamisons include northern Mexican cuisine as well as Southwestern and concentrate on traditional home cooking. Organized by course, it includes breakfast (burritos, tamale hash with corn, eggs and cheese) and a cheese course (stuffed squash blossoms, crab nachos, enchiladas).There's lots of stewed and braised meat dishes as well as barbecue, organ meats and game, many using inexpensive cuts tenderized with spices and long cooking. Fish dishes include roasted flounder fillets wrapped in banana leaf and grilled fish tacos. Tortilla dishes abound throughout the book but are listed at the beginning for easy access. This is a comprehensive book which could easily serve as the nucleus of a Southwestern cooking library.
 One of the BEST Mexican cookbooks around! August 18, 2003

The one and only reason this book is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of color photographs. That is the only factor preventing this book from perfection. The recipies are manageable, authentic, and unbelievably delicious. I never thought I could cook a Mexican dinner better than the ones I'd had at the best Mexican restaurant in town, but with this book, I did it. There's also a great number of different recipies to choose from, all wonderful. This book is a treasure and an absolute must-have for any cooking enthusiast.

My husband and I have tried the tortilla, menudo, and pico de gallo recipes and they were tasty.
Some ingredients are hard to find, depending on where you live.
Worth having if you love Mexican food.

Excellent, interesting recipes that work. I'm not a big southwestern cuisine fan, but I cook from this book regularly, and I consider it one of the all-time great additions to my cookbook library. MUST MAKE: salsas, roast chicken, elemental arrechares, and the best chili you've ever eaten (Dora's Carne con Chile). Throw out that Old El Paso box that is languishing in your pantry, and get cooking!
