Tastes & Treasures: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona

The Historical League cookbook has colorful stories and recipes from historic properties throughout the southwestern state of Arizona. The southwestern recipes range from the Cameron Trading Post on the northern border of Arizona to Rancho de La Osa in the south. There is a charming chapter on recipes and food memories from our Arizona Historymakers such as Barry Goldwater, Erma Bombeck and John Rhodes, and delicious recipes from "Lunch at the Museum."

This cookbook has been named Southwest Regional Winner in the 18th Annual Tabasco Community Cookbook Awards. Only nine books out or hundreds from across the country are selected for this honor. "McIlhenny Company of Tabasco sauce is honored to play a role in celebrating the hard work of these organizations which help capture culinary traditions and make significant contributions to local charitable causes," said McIlhenny. "The true meaning of community is defined within each of these unique cookbooks." Tastes & Treasures is also a finalist in Foreword Magazine "Book of the Year Awards" and USA Book News "Best Book Award"

A perfect Southwestern Arizona cookbook full of western food recipes and authentic western cooking. It will become one of your favorite Southwestern Arizona cookbooks!

Here is a comment from one of our customers, Barbara from Flagstaff:
And I did see the GoodMorningAZ spot - not my usual watch for the morning but happened to catch it. I love Arizona history (am a "near native") so when I can combine great recipes with Arizona history, I'm tickled. The second is a gift for our native Arizona daughter who is living/working in Washington DC. Vacation safely. We are getting nice rain, at least in Northern Arizona.

I saw a 'Tribune' newspaper article about the cookbook. I moved to AZ 8 years ago and am always looking for info about the state.
The website is very informative & user friendly. I am anxious to receive the cookbook & try some of the receipes. I find 'local' cookbooks
reveal lots of interesting facts & folklore about a region/state. I'm sure it will make a great gift for one of my friends. from Barbara in Phoenix
