If you have ever wanted to duplicate the food from your favorite New Mexico restaurant in your kitchen, this book is for you. Probably the most unusual southwestern cookbook ever compiled, it features an assortment of recipes as eclectic as the state’s cultures, many of them contributed by well-known New Mexico chefs. The recipe for refried beans comes from Philomena’s restaurant in Los Alamos: it is followed by instructions for preparing the world-famous chile served at the Owl Bar &amp; Café in San Antonio. Also represented are dishes like poulet marengo from more glamorous Santa Fe restaurants such as La Tertulia and the Pink Adobe, along with such obscure regional specialties as Hobbs barbecued ribs, Silver City sausage, and Carlsbad casserole.
The book concludes with a selection of recipes donated by some of the state’s best known citizens. Now you can make lentil soup the way Frank Waters does, atole á la Rudolfo Anaya, and chile rellenos in tempura batter according to the instructions provided by Roy Nakayama, New Mexico State University’s world-famous chile expert. For your friends who are not lucky enough to live in New Mexico, a list of mail-order sources for New Mexico cooking supplies is included.

This book of New Mexico trivia presented in question-and-answer format is designed to appeal to the curious newcomer as well as to the expert native who wants to show off to friends, family, and coworkers. Some of the questions are easy enough for tourists to answer: "What are farolitos?" 
Some require a long-standing familiarity with New Mexico's history, geography, and culture: "What is the best translation of the name Albuquerque?" "What is the most common place-name in New Mexico?" Some of the questions are next to impossible: "What was the population of Albuquerque in 1706?" 
"Matching with McDonald is just plain fun. So, whether you are learning about New Mexico for the first time or you are an old hand, well-schooled in local lore, this handy and challenging little book is one to savor."--Marc Simmons
