Historic Cookery: Authentic New Mexican Food (First edition)

New Mexican cuisine has its own place in culinary traditions.

Traditional New Mexican dishes are a unique fusion of various Native American, Mexican, Spanish, European, and even North American cowboy chuckwagon foods and cooking techniques.

It is not Mexican or Tex-Mex food. First published in 1931 as Historic Cookery, this cookbook was one of the first cookbooks to introduce New Mexican food and cooking with chillies to the United States.

The more than 100 authentic New Mexican dishes in Historic Cookery take you back to the old ways of preparing food, slow-cooked with flavour and just the right finishing touch.

The chilli sauces, and meat, poultry, fish, cheese, egg, salad, soup, bread, sandwich, dessert, pastry, beverage, and other recipes will have you cooking just like your abuela.
