Book Description:
Julia Child introduced us to French cooking. Lidia Bastianich introduced us to Italian cooking. Now Daisy Martinez will introduce all of America to Latin cookingher way. In a country where salsa now outsells ketchup, Daisy Martinez is out on a mission to change the way we cook. In her new cookbook, a tie-in to her public television show, Daisy introduces us to the mouthwatering meals of her Latin ancestryand not just to the pork, beans, rice, and burritos many people associate with Latino culture. Here are Stuffed Yucca Fritters, Peruvian Minestrone, and Braised Chicken with Figs, to name just a few. By combining the delicious flavor of Latino cultures with ingredients available in any kitchen, Daisy shows us how to daisy-fy regular meals and turn them into something extraordinary. Divided into twelve chapters such as Turnovers and Tamales, Appetizers and Little Bites, Soups and One-Bowl Meals, and Chicken, Duck, and Turkey, and filled with more than 200 recipes and color photographs throughout, this is a cookbook that will introduce a new culinary star. Special features in the book include: lDaisys Top Ten: palate-rocking staple dishes and condiments that will expand your repertoire. lDaisys Corner: a series of essays about the intersection of food, family, and culture.

Great Easy Recipes by Nadia C. Fearon
I love Daisy’s show on the local network and always wanted the book. I knew that the recipes were going to be easy because of the way she explained them. Get this book, it is a great addition to any home library.

Great for basics of PR cooking by JC
This is a good book if you’re interested in the basics of Puerto Rican cooking: sofrito, achiote, pernil, ropa vieja, yellow rice, flan, tembleque. (However, I was surprised and disappointed not to see “arroz con pollo”.) And although Daisy may make minor changes to some of the classic dishes, don’t expect anything too innovative. (For new twists on Latin American cooking, check out Douglas Rodriguez’s Nuevo Latino. For a healthy approach to Latin American cooking, see Stephen Raichlen’s Healthy Latin Cooking.)
