When it comes to food cities, Miami is one to take seriously. It is a colorful culinary tapestry of local and international food traditions with emerging new talents and James Beard-recognized chefs setting the bar for adventurous, experimental, and exciting cuisine.
Miami Cooks by Sara Liss celebrates this wonderfully unique food culture with seventy-five recipes by thirty-five of the city's leading chefs and mixologists. Sure, Miami is the Cuban food capital of America, but it also home to so many other cuisines-Peruvian, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Jamaican-that tempt the palate. From savory duck carnitas tacos to a crab-crusted ribeye steak to a decadent caramelized strawberry (and not to mention, an array of refreshing cocktails), this book boasts recipes all designed for home cooks of all skill levels.
"Sara Liss has written a fitting tribute to our Miami culinary scene. The book is filled with easy-to-follow recipes and beautiful photos. This exciting book brings the best of Miami cuisine to your home."-
Linda Gassenheimer, radio host, syndicated food columnist, and best-selling cookbook author of
