It's late (12:35 am) here in Orlando, and I've got classes and work tomorrow so I must be swift! I just wanted to suggest a couple of cook books that I recently Purchased (one was a gift from my lady, so thank you Carmen!).
The first: "Latin Evolution" by chef Jose Garces. My fiancé, Carmen, got me this one for Christmas. I love it, the layout is very new and sophisticated along with a "basics index" where you can reference basic cooking techniques and ingredients to build upon in the featured recipes. Beautiful pictures and awesome recipes, inspired by Latin culture and cuisine, this one is sure to spice up your at-home-menu in no time!
The second: "Stirring the Pot" by chef Tyler Florence. This one is really nice because it is almost like an owners manual for your kitchen, pantry, tools, and knives. It also doubles as something akin to a coach's play book. Giving trendy looking diagrams and directions on how to do things like braise, suatee, bake, and fry. Simple right? Wrong! Tyler Florence does a great job at making this one appealing to novice and experienced cooks alike.
For this month, these are the Culinary reads I would recommend.
Experiment, taste new ingredients and most of all, have fun!
