Book Description
In her first cookbook, chef and restaurateur Donna Nordin brings together 85 recipes for the food that has earned her national acclaim and repeatedly landed Café Terra Cotta on lists of America's best restaurants. Donna's passion for spice has long been the guiding principle of her restaurant, and her flavorful, innovative contemporary southwestern cooking has kept diners coming back again and again. While all her dishes dazzle the palate, a subtle Garlic Custard and smooth Avocado Vichyssoise are as much a part of her repertoire as the fiery punch of Fried Jalapeño Ravioli. Donna's signature style carries over into the dessert course with a tequila-laced chocolate Arizona Princess Cake, just one of her many sophisticated studies in flavor. Share these recipes with your family and friends and you'll understand why Donna is one of the country's foremost cooking teachers, as well as one of its most respected chefs.

I visited Cafe Terra Cotta in Tucson a year ago and was amazed by the most delicious chile rellenos I had ever tasted. On my second visit, I ordered the chile rellenos again, and picked up the cookbook on the way out. Every recipe I have made from this cookbook has been delicious. The book contains a basics/ how-to section that presents helpful hints and explanations of the ingredients. The instructions are clear, the ingredients are not impossible to locate, and the recipes are easily improvised upon. I love this cookbook so much I am buying one for my friend!

Southwestern Cuisine With Style

This is an excellent collection of Southwestern recipes with stylistic touches. Especially appealing to me are those with fruit or dried fruit, such as Lamb Chops with Dried Cherry-Chipotle Sauce or Spinach Salad with Figs and Jicama or Tangy Cheese-Stuffed Quail with Mango-Chile Salsa. New discoveries of combo flavors are Muchroom, Jarlsberg and Parsley Salad and Corn Risitto. Also tantalizing is Dessert, Taquito or the Arizona Princess Cake, rich with apples, tequila, chocolate and pecans. Another well done TenSpeed Press output, with sources and nice, large format with super color photos and clear instructions and ingredients. Certainly, those who love Southwestern food will add this to their collection.
