Eating Up the Santa Fe Trail: Recipes and Lore from the Old West

One of the best researched and written cookbooks of the Western fur trade. Sections on Saint Louis, Santa Fe, Taos, Bent's Fort, and food on the trails between these points. What were the few pleasures that the traders, trappers, Native Americans, and Hispanic's enjoying at this time and how to cook the same today in your own kitchen. It is also the cookbook of the original owner and chef of the restaurant The Fort west of Denver.

The book arrived quickly and just as advertised. Early recipes from Santa Fe collected by Sam Arnold are a gold mine of information. Ya need this book in your collection!

I bought this to use for research purposes, and it is an excellent reference. Also the 'modernization' of the recipes allows us to try them out using today's products. Well done!

Just as promised plus fast delivery

Use this book for a class research in college.

Great read. Would recommend.
