Phoenix, Arizona

Rising from the dry Salt River Valley to become the fifth largest US city and capital of Arizona, Phoenix lives up to its namesake, the mythical bird revived by fire. Established in the late 1880s as a farming community, today’s Phoenix spans 500 square miles. The city’s food traditions reflect its Mexican and Spanish legacy, Western frontier history, and diverse population. La Hacienda is considered one of the finest Mexican restaurants in town, while the Handlebar J Saloon serves up live country music with steaks. Fine restaurants come with patios for enjoying vivid sunsets, and are often associated with hotels and resorts. Kai, nationally acclaimed for Native American cuisine with global accents, is located at Wild Horse Pass Resort. Flamma Trattoria, a cousin of NYC-based Flamma Osteria, serves Italian fare in a sophisticated setting. Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes are available all day at the popular Breakfast Club in Scottsdale, while recent Asian immigrants have introduced Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian menus.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed on Jan. 4, 2009 by KRISTEN02

This is so good, it's my new chocolate chip cookie recipe! Thanks! Followed the recipe exactly, except only had salted butter in the house, so that's what I used. Didn't have any issues with it. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Perfect! One note- They looked "raw" at the end of the cooking time, so I left them on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, before moving them to the cooling rack. They are kinda crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed on Jan. 4, 2009 by pinkdiamond1001

After reading some of the reviews, I decided to add 1 tsp. of vanilla, a pinch of nutmeg, and 1/2 of cinnamin. I am not sure what went wrong (perhaps the bananas were not ripe enough), but it came out alright. My husband wasn't thrilled about them and neither was I. My daughter loved them and ate quite a few. I think I will follow the recipe as is and see if it makes a difference.

Hamburger Buns

Reviewed on Jan. 3, 2009 by allyson

I halved the recipe and made 12 buns but I think the results would have been better making 8. They are delicious and easy to make. Time permitting, I will probably make these instead of purchasing hamburger buns in the future.
