(More customer reviews)Many of us collect cookbooks for their unique and/or useful recipes. Rarely does a recipe-book come along that is one you want to curl up with on the couch and read and enjoy for its own sake.
Carlotta Flores' El Charro Cafeis one. It is a joyful tribute to past and future by the author and is full of the color of Mexican flavor in the Southwest U.S.Fisher Books did an outstanding job on the full-color photography on nearly every page, not only of platters of food but of kichey artifacts and symbols of the rich culture as it is lived on both sides of our long border and especially at El Charro.
Throughout the pages are amusing and touching family anecdotes from the time Carlotta's great-aunt Monica began serving cowboys and their familias frijoles and tamales in the dusty, wild Tucson of 1922,to the third and fourth generation's tasteful updates that have made El Charro an international destination-restaurant.
I can think of dozens of friends and relatives who would love to find this prize under the Christmas tree. It would not need wrapping!
