Phoenix, Arizona

Rising from the dry Salt River Valley to become the fifth largest US city and capital of Arizona, Phoenix lives up to its namesake, the mythical bird revived by fire. Established in the late 1880s as a farming community, today’s Phoenix spans 500 square miles. The city’s food traditions reflect its Mexican and Spanish legacy, Western frontier history, and diverse population. La Hacienda is considered one of the finest Mexican restaurants in town, while the Handlebar J Saloon serves up live country music with steaks. Fine restaurants come with patios for enjoying vivid sunsets, and are often associated with hotels and resorts. Kai, nationally acclaimed for Native American cuisine with global accents, is located at Wild Horse Pass Resort. Flamma Trattoria, a cousin of NYC-based Flamma Osteria, serves Italian fare in a sophisticated setting. Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes are available all day at the popular Breakfast Club in Scottsdale, while recent Asian immigrants have introduced Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian menus.

Roasted Red Pepper and Crab Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2008 by CrdsGrl
Loved this recipe! I changed a couple of things, used fresh basil instead of dried, added chopped onion and garlic, spooned in tomato paste to kick up the color and add a little thickener, bought canned roasted red peppers (way easier), and added a splash of sherry in the bowl before spooning in the soup. Superb!

Caesar Salad Croutons

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by RudeNun
Didn't add the "ghee" although I did think of adding regular butter, but they were very good without either. I used 2 tb of olive oil and .5 tb of rosemary infused olive oil. I then added dry Greek herb seasoning to the oil mixture. I tossed the bread(used a day-old baguette, no need for toasting) in and baked them on a cookie sheet at 350 for maybe 10 minutes.

Soft Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by RudeNun
Other than adding walnuts to the recipe no other alterations were made. The first day they were quite yummy but dried out the next. Kept 'em sealed tight in a container-didn't seem to help. Will probably only make a few at a time as they dry out pretty fast. Weren't very "soft" to begin with, more so chewy than anything else.
