Seasonal Southwest Cooking: Contemporary Recipes & Menus for Every Occasion is an amazingly versatile cookbook. Looking through this book, the reader can easily find tasty recipes to create something new and exciting for a family meal. Most of the items in these recipes can be found in the average kitchen with missing ingredients creatively substituted with what's at hand.

However, within this book, the reader can also find recipes suitable for special occasions. In fact, menus for special occasions ranging from romantic soirees and thoughtful brunches, through formal buffets and informal barbeques to festive Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are provided at the beginning of this book. Each month's menu is based upon a seasonal theme. Throughout the book, photographs of the southwest landscape during these various seasons are illustrated. These photographs are absolutely breathtaking and definitely help the reader get into the southwest mood as he or she cooks.
