About this product

Product Information

Daisy Martinez is America's most exciting and beloved new television cook. Here, at last, is her first cookbook, with all the recipes from her acclaimed show--and most can be made in under thirty minutes! In Daisy Martinez's kitchen, salsa music is always playing. Laughter fills the air, along with delicious aromas of the amazing meal to come. Friends, neighbors, and family members are ever-present, sneaking tastes from every pot. And in the center of it all, Daisy is laughing, singing, tasting, and appreciating everything that her kitchen--and life!--has to offer. Does this sound like your kitchen? If not, don't despair. In this book and on her acclaimed national public television series, Daisy Cooks! , Daisy teaches you how to bring excitement back to the table with Latin-inspired food that your friends and family will love! Some of these recipes will remind you of meals you've enjoyed in restaurants. Some are great variations on dishes you already cook. Some are totally new. All of them will rock your world. Daisy's flavorful, satisfying interpretation of the best dishes from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Central and South America all taste like the results of a day in the kitchen--but in reality, most take only thirty minutes to prepare. Here, you'll find the techniques that Daisy learned at the French Culinary Institute, along with her mother's and grandmother's time-tested tricks! This winning combination results in dishes that range from elegant Chicken Braised with Figs to soul-satisfying Cuban Black Bean Soup to to-die-for homemade Dulce de Leche. And then, of course, there are Daisy's "Top Ten Hits"--the recipes that, once you try them, are guaranteed to change the way you cook forever. In this first chapter, Daisy shows how simple flavor boosters, in addition to a few easy techniques, can make every meal mouthwateringly special. In Daisy's words, "If you can season, cook, and dress pork chops and serve them alongside fragrant yellow rice in less than thirty minutes, I can't imagine why you'd eat anything from a cardboard carton!" With ingredients that are found in almost every supermarket, equipment that every kitchen contains, and a little bit of adventurousness on your part, the recipes in this book will transform your mealtimes for good. So jump right in--it's time to get Daisy-fied!

Daisy Cooks!
Really great cookbook for those interested in authentic Latin American and Puerto Rican cuisine. I am half Puerto Rican but never really learned how to cook the dishes of my culture even though I am condsidered a very good cook when it comes to Italian, Greek and American food. I guess it's because my mom and Grandma did not use measurements and I couldn't get the hang of "eyeballing" and "estimating" amounts. I am a self taught cook who started with Joy of Cooking and took off from there. I need exact measurements and clear instructions which my Puerto Rican relatives didn't use and yet somehow they make the very best dishes of the culture. I tried it their way and my yellow rice and beans always came out mushy or hard and I couldnt fix it so I gave up. After watching Daisy on television I was thrilled as she made the dishes I thought were to hard for me to master. It is truly an excellent resource and she gives explanations and there are many notes throughout the book. There are also some nice pictures. I've been using the book now and have aced the dishes that used to intimidate me. I highly reccomend it.Read full review

I love that the recipes are so simple which is why I decided to purchase the book. It reminds me of my childhood. Some of the recipes I had never heard about and I am anxious to try. The trick for the banana leaf I had seen used in Puerto Rico but I had never tried it. I finally did, and wow, what a difference. I recommend this book highly. I have seen other books on puerto-rican cooking that just do not compare. This book seems fresh and exciting. The photographs help tremendously. After seeing the show, and now having the cookbook with the recipes provided there make it seem like I have Daisy in my own kitchen. I do not have any complaints about this book.

I WANTED IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME
I wanted this book for a very long time. I am a avid cook and I do have a extensive repertoir of recipes and cookbooks.I also have followed her for years on her T.V. show of the same name. I had not seen the interior of this book --so it was all new to me when I received it. It was all that I expected ! A joyful , not overly complicated book --filled with LOVE of life , foods and a celebration of friends and relatives that made it all possible. I love the style of it all !! I have slowed greatly in my purchase of cooking books. I have many and only purchase ones that are very , very special. I would include this in the list of SPECIAL. Do you want a little more information or recipes of Latin Style of cooking ?? Or more on Puerto Rican Foods ??...or Spanish Foods in a generl way ? Or Carribean specialtys.? Then check this book out !! I think you'll enjoy it as much as I.Read full review

I've been watching her show on the Create channel, and the Cooking Channel features her FoodTV show--MAN! She makes stuff look so friggin' good! I'd done a test-drive of the book thru interlibrary loan, and knew I'd have to have this one. I've found myself at our local international grocery buying things I'd never bought that are now regular pantry staples. It'll be a go-to item from now on!
