Product Overview
Reading this cookbook is like taking a stroll through the Farmers' Market to gather a basketful of garden-fresh goodies for supper. The recipes and menus are ideally suited for a leisurely brunch behind adobe walls in a shady garden of lush foliage and a bubbling fountain, for a perfect picnic beside a cool winding stream. There are menus for a succulent Fourth of July barbecue and a panoply of contemporary Native foods inspired by the ancient culture of the Eight Northern Pueblos of New Mexico.
