Phoenix culinary scene beautifully presented by author author Christina Barrueta. Her knowledge of cookery (from her global travels) & wines impressive. She includes many restaurants & talented, creative chefs. Descriptions of the offerings at these establishments accompanied by gorgeous photographs will have you trying recipes at home or dining out.

As a relocated Phoenician, I am finally not as home sick! I was so absolutely thrilled to see the amazing collection of chefs featured in this book, and it has not disappointed one bit! The recipes are wonderful and the book is stunning! Great job all around. Super excited to see what Christina does next!

Bought this as a gift for someone who likes to cook and was visiting the Phoenix area. He loved it. Great recipes, hard cover, wonderful variety. The perfect gift for him.

Excellent on trend cook book. A must have for any Phoenician or anyone who loves Southwest fare. A fantastic gift for the chef or person who has everything...

The book is great but the binding was ripped inside upon arrival....

Wery excited about trying out some of these delicious recipes!

Fabulous recipes, beautiful photography, great for a gift.

I would consider myself a pretty good cook who makes homemade meals for my family (with leftovers) about 3 days per week. I also live in Phoenix, so I was drawn to this cookbook. Unfortunately, this cookbook was completely out of my range! I agree with other reviews that the pictures are stunning and the chef stories were interesting. HOWEVER, I didn’t buy this as a book to keep on my coffee table, I intended to actually cook from it. Paging through, I couldn’t find any recipes that seemed like they would be doable when cooking for my family, maybe for the rare fancy weekend meal. That being said, I returned the book so it didn’t just gather dust. I guess I’ll appreciate these Phoenix restaurants even more when I visit them and enjoy their meals!
