Here are some culinary recipes from Padres and Conquistadores in old time Mexico

The "New Mexico Magazine" on his column Southwest Bookshelf, wrote on December 1990, at page 26, about the author of Padres and Conquistadores: Southwest Forgotten Cuisine.
"For those of us who would rather read a cookbook than cook, here's our kind of cookbook. The autor's card identifies him as an environmental engineer, but abviously his avocations are calligraphy, art and the study of Spanish Colonial archives. Padres and Conquistadores is handsome to look at. The recipes come from such notables as Padre Eusebio Kino, Fray Junipero Serra and the wife of Pedro de Alvarado. Each dish is carefully identified and commented upon. Suitable wines are recommended.
If you have a cookbook collector on your Christmas list, this would make a great present".Here we have some pages.
