Product 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.

Brunie Feliciano (Oceanside New York)
and I treasure her cookbook because I always wanted to write about Puerto Rican cuisine....so I was thrilled to see Daisy Martinez on TV evoking the stories and food that are so familiar to me. I have made the recipes and they are authentic, easy to follow and execute, and delicious....this food is straight forward,simple, but very flavorful. Thank you Daisy for preserving our culinary history.....
Daisy Cooks Just Like My Mom But Better May 31, 2008
H. Gomez (Fayetteville, NC USA)
Checked this book out at the library after being a fan of her PBS series - then I bought it. She is awesome. The recipes and her presentation along with her personality make her the Latina version of Paula Dean. She presents recipes just like she was your BFF (best friend forever). I have already made several of her recipes and they are very very good. I should know as my background is Cuban and have traveled throughout Central & South America.
Worthy of praise from my puerto rican friends May 9, 2008
Christen (Queens, NY)
My puerto rican co-workers were raving about the recipes in this book, especially the sofrito, so I bought it for myself. I've only tried three recipes but all three were perfect. I think the roast chicken with adobo mojado is my husband's new favorite dish.
