| Publisher Description: Why is New Mexico often referred to as the "land of enchantment"?Could that refer to more than the state's natural beauty?Yes, it does This cookbook will introduce you to the marvelous cuisine of the state, which has an ideal growing climate with its sun-baked fields and chilly desert nights. They grow many of the crops used in the state's dishes, and their variances in temperature, shorter growing seasons and arid climate lead to flavors that are concentrated nicely. The flavors of New Mexico come alive when used in their signature dishes. From their sweet apples to hot chilies, their zesty and colorful farm crops contribute a great deal to their dishes, from chili cheeseburgers to enchiladas. Even their desserts sometimes include the spicy chilies, making them unique and surprisingly tasty. Native Americans first settled the area now known as New Mexico, followed by Spaniards looking for new areas of the United States in which to live. Each group in the region has made their own contributions to the state's cuisine, making their menu a part of all their cultures, but totally unique to New Mexico. The cuisine of New Mexico stands alone amid the cuisine of the other states in the USA. They have many flavor combinations you won't find anywhere else. Try some of them soon |
