The Sunset Essential Western Cookbook: Fresh, Flavorful Recipes for Everyday Cooking

This is a nice cookbook, it has recipes for all things that speak of the Southwest and California.The best thing was finding a recipe for Lupe's Tamales that I have been trying to find for ten years or so. I lost the copy I used when my sister and I made these yummy tamales and could not replicate it no matter how hard we tried. Yay!

This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever used! All of the recipes are delicious and the instructions are very clear. They include where to find or what to substitute for unique ingredients that may not be readily available. I really enjoy the history of the different parts of the west and of western foods included throughout the book as well. It is not just focused on the Southwest either (as many "Western" cookbooks do) but includes the Rockies, California and Pacific Northwest.

Sunset is highly regarded for it's magazine recipes and topical cookbooks. This new one hits the mark again. It is easy to read; the photos are colorful (I love going through the cookbook just to see the pictures first); and the taste of the food is marvelous. There are options to lessen or increase the heat...I love it just they way they are. This is definitely a keeper!!!

Sunset cookbooks are fabulous. Every recipe is delicious and even if you are reluctant to try one you probably will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Some of these I have been looking for. Can't wait to try a lot of them. I definitely recommend this book to all cooks.

Love this book, I have only made one so far the meat stew with the corn and potatoes and stuff.SO GOOD!Would recommend.

This is such a great cookbook! If you love chilies, you must get this book!

Arrived on time and well packaged. And who doesn't love more cookbooks! I do and love this one, beautiful photography and awesome, mouth watering recipes.
