The Rancho De Chimayo Cookbook: The Traditional Cooking of New Mexico

We recently visited Chimayo New Mexico and acutualy ate at this restaurant. Love Mexican food from New Mexico and bought this book from their restaurant. It is so good I love the fact I can recreate recipes that we had. I bought another for my son from amazon it is awesome! Not only are the recipes great but the history of the restaurant is great also. Great buy if you love good Mexican food don't expect tex mex it won't be in this book!

The book was dirty .I won't buy used again

This, not the new edition, is the actual traditional cooking of New Mexico. Foodies will freak at the idea of queso made from Velveeta, but to the people of rural New Mexico, Velveeta was a blessing when it arrived in the 1920s as an alternative to strong, sour flavored goat cheeses of the sort now euphemized as "assertive." Old style goat cheese all too often reeked of cabron.

For those from New Mexico and/or those that know Chimayo, this book is a must have.This that aren't familiar with the area will get some wonderful background.Love the history and the recipes.Great purchase

I Love Chimayo a I know i am biased because I grew up in northern NM, but I've not found anyone who wasn't enchanted by the experience of visiting this wonderful place and eating at the old ranch house is truly an unforgettable dinning experience!

Great book. Worth the price for the sauces alone. the first part of the book has a lot of fluff, but just skip it and rack the recipes.

Great recipes from a great restaurant that I have enjoyed going to. However, the book arrived sticky. I had to wipe it off before I could really look at it. Eww! Also, the edge of the pages look seriously water damaged.

Great Southwest Mexican Cooking.... Love making and eating the sopaipillas.....they come out so light, fluffy and delicious!!!! Also enjoyed the background about the beginnings of the Rancho De Chimayo.
