Southwestern Grilling

Summary: Southwestern cooking for those who shun southwestern cooking
Review: In my lifetime of cooking southwestern food I've never read a book that contained so many ghastly sounding recipes.

This is Santa Fe cooking as distorted by the rich people who have driven most Santa Feans out of the city. Even the chile required (and Ms. Stacy does spell chile correctly) is mild or medium. The food is bland and contains endless tomatoes and almost flavorless roasted garlic.

Don't fail to buy the book if you like phony Santa Fe cooking. You might enjoy it. But please, I beg you, don't call it southwestern. It isn't. <P

Summary: Excellent recipes!
Review: We bought this book a few years back and every summer we find ourselves coming back to it. Just last night we made the feta stuffed poblanos for a dinner we had for a couple of couples and it was a hit!

Don't believe the snide comments of the first reviewer - the comments are more about their perception of "correct" (like in political) Santa Fe than the well done efforts of this author.
