In this entertaining history, Gregory McNamee explores the many
ethnic and cultural traditions that have contributed to the food of
the Southwest. He traces the origins of the cuisine to the arrival
of humans in the Americas, the work of the earliest farmers of
Mesoamerica, and the most ancient trade networks joining peoples of
the coast, plains, and mountains. From the ancient chile pepper and
agave to the comparatively recent fare of sushi and Frito pie, this
complex culinary journey involves many players over space and time.
Born of scarcity, migration, and climate change, these foods are
now fully at home in the Southwest of today-and with the
"southwesternization" of the American palate at large, they are
found across the globe. McNamee extends that story across thousands
of years to the present, even imagining what the southwestern menu
will look like in the near future.
