I like to cook. A lot. And while I do like to make elaborate dishes that take all day to mince and strain and whatever, I also like to cook good, honest food. And that's what this cookbook is about.
This is puro New Mexican cooking. Heavy on the chile. Rick Bayless can show you how to make a more authentic mole. Diane Kennedy will send you on a search for banana leaves. This book will teach you to make a deep red sauce you can have on hand daily.
And these basic recipes will give the confidence to reach outside their bounds, to go into a market, see what meat is on sale and think, "Geez, that'll go great with that green chile sauce I have left over."
So whether you have a hankering for mutton stew (and that happens around our house) or you want to lear how to fold a burrito (yes gabacho, you fold a burrito) this is the book for you.
