Tastes & Treasures: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona
When I originally reviewed a copy of Tastes and Treasures as it came off press I said, These ladies understand the meaning of a community cookbook. Most people we deal with misunderstand the relevance of associating historical information through the subject of food. Tastes and Treasures is the best example of a true community cookbook that I have been associated with since the inception of the current Favorite Recipes Press model.Your book is truly wonderful and it is THE sample reference I use 100% of the time to illustrate what the content of a community cookbook should be. --Dave Kempf, President FRP Favorite Recipes Press, Nashville, TN June 2008Taste History - Tour Historic Arizona from your kitchen table with savory recipes and colorful stories gathered from Arizona s longest-standing establishments.
