Critical Reviews

[A] lively and far-ranging debut collection...Salazar traces the fascinating origins and evolution of each dish: for example, Dominican spaghetti, featuring salami, olives, evaporated milk, and adobo sauce, reflects both the influence of Italian immigrants to the Dominican Republic and Dominic immigrants to the U.S. Desserts include tamales stuffed with fruit and sugar, beverages range from Texas margarita to tres leches latte, and foundational recipes for guacamoles, salsas tortillas, and other standards round things out. This informative tour of American Latino cuisine will encourage home chefs to explore and enjoy.--Publisher's Weekly

? "Easy-to-follow . . . each recipe includes a lively and informative introductory note that provides historical context and fascinating details about the dish itself. A superb, marvelously informative introduction to Latine cooking and cuisine in the U.S., enriched with intriguing snippets of Salazar's heritage and culinary journeys."--Library Journal, starred
