Product Info Reviews

Description:

Jane Butel has been a leader in popularizing Tex-Mex cooking outside America's Southwest. In her Fiestas for Four Seasons, she offers 21 menus for bountiful Southwestern-accented meals to fit many occasions. These menus, organized by the seasons, include a work plan and table-decorating suggestions as well as recipes. Spring Lunch for a Rainy Day centers on grilled lamb chops and comforting roasted garlicky mashed potatoes with wild mushrooms; and the Old El Paso Border Dinner includes a roast pork loin glazed in jalapeño jelly. This elegant meal finishes with a custardy trifle. Color photos of the Southwest, and of some of the dishes, enliven this book.

Beginning cooks may have some difficulty with the murky wording in a few recipes. They might be confused by the inaccurately named extra extra virgin olive oil (one "extra" is correct). But everyone will appreciate Butel's neat trick for making tostadas from fresh corn tortillas. --Dana Jacobi
