Now available! Old School Gallery Recipes isn't just another cookbook. It is also a slice of the art and history of one of the most beautiful and exotic places in New Mexico. The El Morro Area Arts Council is housed in the Old School Gallery, which sits beside scenic Highway 53 in the northwest part of the State, amid sandstone bluffs and fragrant sage. People from the Ramah area, the Zuni and Navajo reservations, and as far away as Grants and Gallup, regularly come together here for art, poetry, theatre, dance, music, and fun. The book is full of their favorite recipes, some fancy and some simple, but it also contains beautiful local art, poetry, home remedies, reflections from Lucia Amsden's Heartlines, and snippets of traditional life. In addition to recipes for easy meals and fancy parties, Paul Merrill from Ramah tells how to make Indian fry bread, David Candelaria from the Ice Caves describes cooking shepard's beans over a campfire, and Barbara Vogt Mallery tells how her mother made and used pine tar salve (excerpted from her book, Bailing Wire and Gamuza, published by New Mexico Magazine). The recipes and home remedies are as surprising and delightful as the glimpses of the place they come from, wild ancient country, filled with magic and light. Old School Gallery Recipes is $16.00 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling. You may order now by credit card through PayPal. Click on the button below! We also accept personal checks or money orders.
