Jane Butel's Southwestern Kitchen

Rating:
Summary: Delicious, Easy Southwestern Cuisine
Review: I have never taken the time to review a book before, but this one definitely deserves the kudos. It is well-written and nicely displayed. The recipes are exactly as described. The vast majority use ingredients that are easy to find (even in my rural town) and the instructions are easy to follow. Everything I have made from this book turned out wonderfully and most require only an average amount of effort in the kitchen (nothing too complicated!!) The dishes were truly beautiful and delicious.

Summary: You'll feel like a master chef!
Review: When I cook using this book, I create mouthwatering masterpieces! Living in Texas, it's common to serve Southwestern-style cuisine for a humble get together with friends. If you're having a fiesta, and you WANT your guests to visit again, you should use this cookbook. The food will please your guests' tummies and tastebuds! They'll think you're a superior chef.

Granted I've not tried ALL of the recipes, but I've made *several*-- enough to have confidence and faith in the rest of the book... enough to cast a vote of confidence for Jane Butel.

Jane's recipes are well written, and I've enjoyed the diversity of her recipes. Many different salsas and sauces, entrees, drinks, and desserts! My creations have tasted so very fresh and delicious. Jane Butel knows what she's talking about! So, check out this great cookbook and start delighting tastebuds in your town!
