Julia Child introduced us to French cooking. Lidia Bastianich introduced us to Italian cooking. Now Daisy Martinez will introduce all of America to Latin cooking-her 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 ancestry-and 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: l-Daisy+s Top Ten: palate-rocking staple dishes and condiments that will expand your repertoire.l-Daisy+s Corner: a series of essays about the intersection of food, family, and culture.

 one week five dishes September 5, 2008
Sam (PA)
Daisy's my new best friend. The basics are terrific. I roasted chicken, stuffed peppers, yellowed rice, froze baggies of sofrito and made Grandma's chicken and spaghetti. Very good--all of them. Got the flan and empanadas in sight for this weekend. Also think we'll like the stuffed eggplant. I will make all of these dishes again and again. Only thing better would be for Daisy to do the dishes.
Daisy Made Me a Convert to Latin Cuisine!!! August 31, 2008
Daniel F. Moore (Yarmouth, Maine USA)
I purchased this book after seeing Daisy cook on PBS. Yeah, she's a bit on the perky side but so is her cooking. I made her father's recipe for Pot Roast and it was a whole new experience...a good one!! I really like achiote oil and her recipe for sofrito as well. One of my favorites is her recipe for Chicken with Figs(Pollo Con Higos). Other than eating Fig Newtons as a kid, I had never tasted a fig. This was just wonderful!! Her recipe for Rice with Pigeon Peas is a major keeper!! I also served her Puerto Rican Egg Nog to guests at Christmas and everyone who tried it wanted the recipe. I am so pleased with this book that I grew cilantro, ajices dulces and habanero chiles in my garden this summer. In a separate part of the house, I grew culantro so that I could make Daisy's sofrito recipe using authentic ingredients. That should tell you how much I enjoy her and her wonderful recipes. Both are treasures!!!

Daisy is the best Latin Cook to emere in recent years... ..... June 5, 2008
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.....
