About this item

Fearing gained a national reputation for his new Southwestern cuisine, and his first cookbook, The Mansion on Turtle Creek (1987; o.p.) , is a classic in its genre. Like many other chefs, he has been experimenting with Asian flavors, and this book is the result. However, although Fearing is taken with what he has named "The New Alliance" in Southwest cookery, the Asian influence is not particularly apparent in many of the recipes, and most would seem to fit just as easily into his first collection.
