Austin Chronicle

Interior Designers by Claudia Alarcon

Fonda San Miguel founders Miguel Ravago and Tom Gilliland, pioneers of interior Mexican cuisine, are publishing Fonda San Miguel: Thirty Years of Food and Art, written by Austin Chronicle's Virginia B. Wood, as they're celebrating their 30th anniversary.

"To cap an amazing anniversary year, Ravago and Gilliland plan another first for Fonda: They will be open on Thanksgiving from noon to 7pm, featuring a Mexican Thanksgiving menu ($38.95), as well as their regular menu."

Has anyone gotten the book yet? Thoughts? I was at a potluck the other night with some other foodies and they were buzzing about it.

It is very, very beautiful. I've already made the blackberry mole, which tasted great (I did tweak it a bit for a smoother texture). Lookiing forward to some of the other house favorites.

The Fonda San Miguel Cookbook has been available for a while now, so those of you who've read it or own it, what do you think?

Is it a worthy addition to the cookbook collection, or just a nice collectible if you are nostalgic for the restaurant?

The best part is that you can use the book to cook the recipes at home BETTER than they at the restaurant. Heh, heh...

Edited to add: I do love drinking at the FSM bar, though.
