Our Latin Table: Celebrations, Recipes, and Memories
Book Description...
Our Latin Table is the first book to offer a complete
collection of celebrations and recipes by one of the premier Cuban-American
restaurateurs in the United States today. The book offers mouthwatering
menus, easy recipes, and gorgeous photography. Over seventeen menus are
designed around holidays, family traditions, special occasions and
everyday meals. Some examples are: New Year's Eve, Christening Lunch,
4th of July Clam Bake, Cuban Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve Mariscada.
There are sections on how to set up a Cuban bar and create cocktails
such as the popular mojito, as well as a Latin glossary and step-by-step
instruction for Latin cooking techniques. This cookbook will set out to
demystify Latin-American cooking, allowing the at-home cook to savor the
tropical and spicy flavors of the Latin explosion.
Note From Cindy...
See my review of Nuevo Latino to better understand
my somewhat difficult time in reviewing Latin Recipe based cookbooks. Once you
read up on my dilemma...take the time to peruse this wonderful cookbook! Our Latin Table,
through the course of seventeen menus, offers true Latin flavor in recipes that
cover a year's worth of our lives' special occasions. Not just holidays, but also
others such as a Good Luck Fishing Trip menu, Christening Lunch, Softball Mixed Grill Picnic,
and even a Monday Night Football Party!
Beginning with the staples of a good Latin Pantry and Cuban Bar, Fernando Saralegui also
makes special note of "Latin" Rhythms to cook, eat and party with.
Our Latin Table is truly a gem among Latin cookbooks!
