Synopsis:

In her first cookbook, chef and restaurateur Donna Nordin brings together 85 recipes for the food that has earned her national acclaim and repeatedly landed Café Terra Cotta on lists of America's best restaurants. Donna's passion for spice has long been the guiding principle of her restaurant, and her flavorful, innovative CONTEMPORARY SOUTHWESTERN cooking has kept diners coming back again and again. While all her dishes dazzle the palate, a subtle Garlic Custard and smooth Avocado Vichyssoise are as much a part of her repertoire as the fiery punch of Fried Jalapeño Ravioli. Donna's signature style carries over into the dessert course with a tequila-laced chocolate Arizona Princess Cake, just one of many sophisticated studies in flavor.

About the Author: DONNA NORDIN studied classic French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu and pastry with Gaston Lenotre, both in Paris. Donna lives in Tucson, Arizona, where she owns and operates the first Caf?© Terra Cotta, considered one of the pioneering restaurants of the new Southwestern cuisine. She also operates the second Caf?© Terra Cotta, in Scottsdale, and two other Tucson restaurants: the Tohono Chul Tea Room and Trio.
