Local Cookbooks Reveal Lots of Information
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 www.HistoricalLeague.org is very informative & user friendly. 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. by Vicki H

This cookbook is indeed a treasure, both for long-time residents and newcomers alike. Arizona natives love the familiarity and memories, and 'transplants' get an immediate sense of "belongingness." We bought several copies of the cookbook for gifts for Christmas 2006. Everyone loved them so much that they bought more to give to their friends! It's great fun to replicate some of the local landmarks' 'secrets'; and many of the recipes have become "family favorites."
This is a wonderful cookbook with not only great recipes but the history that goes along with them. I received this book as a gift and, even though I do not live in AZ, I have found the recipes fantastic and the pictures are a terrific example of "food presentation."
