We love to cook around our camp, more specifically we love to cook tasty, interesting, flavorful, and healthy foods.
Two of the most-used cookbooks we’ve collected over the years have been these two from author Joan Stromquist, who collected recipes from the talented chefs in and around Santa Fe and collated them into these two simple, paperback cookbooks. They were published in the early 1990’s, and you’ll not find new copies out there, but if you’re a fan of southwestern and in particular the very unique flavors of New Mexico, you’ll find these fascinating and indispensable.
Of course you’ll need to do a bit of tweaking for many if not most of the recipes to bring them into alignment with ancestral food and nutrition principles, though that’s typically a piece of cake to accomplish. Both are worth it simply for the soup and salsa recipes alone…
Prowl through your favorite used-book purveyor to find these, there are still a number of copies floating around out there in good shape.
