Customer Reviews

Contemporary Mexican cuisine at it's best...!
First of all I can't believe that I'm the first one to comment since I personally can't stop referencing this book on a daily basis for something. Anyways, The Salpicon! Cookbook comes from the chef and sommelier of the fine Mexican restaurant Salpicon in Chicago Priscilla and Vincent Satkof ( Priscilla is a protege of famous Mexican chef Rick Bayless).

I found this book when I was looking for something to cook for my wife's birthday. One of her favorite dishes is the "pastel tres leches" 3 milks cake. So it was one of the recipes in the book and decided to buy it.

When I was done, I did not realize how simple it was to re-create. Later after 3 months I have pretty much recreated about 95% of the recipes. The other 5% I haven't found the correct ingredients.

Salpicon! offers more than just great Mexican cuisine. It offers you a window of possibilities that you never thought it could easily be matched. One of the recipes is mexican style gazpacho. Even though it's an European dish, it was given the Mexican treatment and worked well. Similar dishes are found thoughout the book and some of them will challenge your conventional wisdom of mexican food. But one thing is clear, they are all delicious. One thing that clearly distinguishes this book from the rest are the wines notes accompaning the recipes, even though i have a hard time getting a hold on some of the suggestions it's a nice touch. Buy this book, you won't regret it,

Great plating and fusion ideas
The way she approaches reinventing Mexican cuisine is utterly exhilarating. This ain't no TexMex book, oh goodness no. You should grab a copy of this and Latin Evolution by Jose Garces.... Get inspired and get Latin in the Kitchen.
