“Red or green?” This is the most commonly asked question
in New Mexico’s restaurants.
In Red or Green: New
Mexico Cuisine, author Clyde Casey helps you decide
that question, offering more than 200 recipes for
traditional and modern dishes from New Mexico. And while
this book specializes in chile cuisine, it features
wonderful recipes of all kinds.
You’ll find the
exotic—Blue Cornmeal Pancakes with Green Chile Chutney,
Blackened Tomato-Mint Salsa—along with classics such as
Beef Enchiladas and Green Chile Stew. Game and fish
recipes include Cherokee Venison Meatloaf as well as
Crayfish Quiche and Pecan Coated Catfish. Desserts vary
from the more familiar Rum Apple Crisp and Piñon Nut
Cookies to the unusual—and unusually delicious—Chocolate
Tortilla Dessert.
In addition to the
recipes, Casey discusses the various types of chile
peppers, from the mild New Mexico 6 (formerly Anaheim)
to the red-hot habanero. You’ll learn how to choose
them, handle them, use them in cooking and order them by
mail. Casey also introduces you to New Mexico’s wine,
one of the state’s fastest growing products, and
explores local wines and wineries. Finally, the book
provides hints for high-altitude baking and a
user-friendly index.
Red or Green: New Mexico
Cuisine is a
perfect companion to the best-selling Green Chile
Bible and Red Chile Bible—and a must-have
cookbook for chile lovers everywhere.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Clyde Casey has
pursued a lifetime love
of art and cooking—which he considers an art form—his
special passion. His greatest sense of satisfaction and
enjoyment comes from sharing his knowledge of New
Mexico’s colorful heritage and foods with others. He has
published two other cookbooks, New Mexico Cooking
and Sassy Southwest Cooking.
Involved in the art
business for nearly 40 years, Casey was a sculptor of
Western bronzes, an art gallery operator and a general
promoter of the arts. A noted Western art historian and
sculptural art restoration expert, he served for a
number of years as president of the Professional Artists
of Colorado. He also indulged his side
interest—entertaining—by producing show segments for the
Jaycee Chuckwagon in the Garden of the Gods Visitor and
Nature Center by Pikes Peak. At one time he also picked
guitar, sang, and wrote songs with a three-man group,
the Trailriders.
Casey was involved in
other ventures as well. He owned the first full-line pet
store and grooming parlor in Colorado Springs. He also
trapped rattlesnakes and shipped them live to a
biological supply house for the production of anti-venom
serum.
Always seeking new
interests to challenge his inquisitive mind and
intrigued by many visits to New Mexico, Casey made
Roswell, New Mexico, his home about twenty years ago,
helping to establish a bus manufacturing plant. He
immediately began studying his new home state’s history
and culture. He retired in 2003 and now spends his time
writing cookbooks and novels.
Clyde Casey lives with
his wife, Millie, a prize-winning quilter, in Roswell.
They have three grown children, five grandchildren and
one great-grandchild. At home he works on perfecting his
ever-growing collection of New Mexican recipes.
