Enjoy empanadas filled with creamed corn, a crispy-edged,
juicy skirt steak doused in tangy chimichurri, or the divine
layers of moist angel food cake, strawberries, and whipped
cream of the Strawberry Delicia, all of which Daisy Martinez
brings to life in this vibrant collection of
recipes. Growing up in her mother's and grandmother's
kitchens, Daisy became an expert in traditional
Latin-American cuisine. Here she "Daisifies" those classics
and includes a hearty sampling of dishes from her travels
across Spain, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Peru, and
Argentina. To Daisy, food is about bringing family
together, and so she peppers her collection with anecdotes
and family vacation photos. Each recipe is as much about the
memory the flavors recall as the love that goes into
preparing the dish; for her, the succulent grilled meats of
a parrillada bring back memories of a Christmas spent
floating in a pool in Argentina, while the flaky, gooey
vegetable potpie recalls an extravagant dinner party in the
Dominican Republic. As a busy mother of four, Daisy lives
the time crunch every day and has crafted her recipes to be
quick, adaptable, and easy to understand. She deftly
demystifies the ingredients of the Latin-American kitchen,
explaining everything from the spectrum of color in
plantains to the degrees of heat in chiles. With this
range of mouthwatering recipes, you can plan your day with
Daisy: rise and shine with the rich aromas of chile-spiked
hot chocolate; power up with a midday empanada with your
pick of five savory fillings; and start a tradition with a
night of tantalizing tapas. Why eat dull when you can eat
delicioso?
