This is one of the most unusual cookbooks we have ever seen and will certainly be the most unusual you will ever own. In this cookbook, you will experience first hand the influence of ancient, diverse, southwestern culture including Spanish, Mexican, Indian, and southern pioneers. Their imprint is indelible on the foods and menus found on these pages, and although some of the specialty ingredients may be difficult to find, substitutions are readily available. There is a fascinating history lesson included and many beautiful detailed graphics with expert explanation of their meaning. This is by no means your typical cookbook. If experimentation is your style and the great southwest holds a silent mystery for you, then Kokopelli's Cookbook is absolutely the cookbook for you.
