"The Rancho de Chimayó Cookbook offers a beautiful glimpse into the still-vibrant cuisine of New Mexico. With the blending of centuries-old Spanish culture with native and modern American, a unique and delicious cuisine has emerged—one that will inspire journeys to the source and delicious meals from your kitchen."—Rick Bayless, author and host of Public Television's Mexico: One Plate at a Time and chef-owner of Chicago's Frontera Grill, Topolobampo, and Xoco"Forty years ago when we pondered the feasibility of a guide to restaurants that serve great regional food around America, our first dinner at Rancho de Chimayó was strong persuasion to proceed. Here was—and continues to be—a fount of New Mexican fare at its finest. How wonderful it is that Cheryl and Bill Jamison's cookbook gives us all a chance to savor not just Rancho de Chimayó's magnificent food, but the spirit of a unique restaurant that is nothing less than a national treasure."—Michael Stern, Roadfood.com
