About this title

Review

Colorado has been long known for its scenic mountain beauty, but now, thanks to this wonderful new book, travelers can exlore Colorado's equally exciting culinary adventures. From the world's most famous ski resorts, to quaint Victorian mining towns, from Colorado's hip, young capital city of Denver to the wineries of the Western slope, Colorado's culinary scene is soaring as high as the Rocky Mountains, and this book will let you hit the trail to great dining experiences.--Rich Grant, Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau

Colorado Pioneers have always had an innovative history in the use of recipes, preservation, and food storage due to our unique climate. The only fresh fruit available to Silverton miners at 10,000 feet elevation was rhubarb, a predominant ingredient found in such foods as smoked elk jerky, salted trout, and other provisions, which could then be placed in the root cellar during the long winter months. Recipes from Historic Colorado captures the essence of Colorado cooking.--Randall H. Lortscher, contributor, Junior League of Denver's Crème de Colorado Cookbook

From some of Denver's and Colorado's oldest dining establishments to new favorites, this book captures the innovative culinary style of the New West--one bite at a time.--John Hickenlooper, mayor of Denver
