Daisy: Morning, Noon and Night: Bringing Your Family Together with Everyday Latin Dishes
Unpretentious Latin home cooking gets a glossy sheen in this friendly, comprehensive cookbook. Martinez—star of the Food Network'sViva Daisy!—draws from her own Puerto Rican traditions as well as her annual family journeys to Spanish-speaking countries around the world for her ambitious collection of recipes. Martinez also covers a wide array of events, from cocktail parties to elaborate dinner parties and weekend brunches. She tailors her recipes for the time-strapped with such dishes as Faster-Than-Takeout Chicken in Green Sauce alongside special chapters on weeknight dishes, like her guava–cream cheese turnovers with frozen puff pastry and a stitch in time tips for making dishes ahead. Though simplified, her recipes still incorporate their distinct regional flavors—with ingredients such as salt cod,alcaparrado, and coconut milk.(Mar.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
