What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Celebrated chef and longtime Dallas restaurateur Abraham Salum draws on his immigrant roots to create a collection of 75 recipes that is both polished and playful, reflecting his Lebanese, Italian, Mexican, and Spanish heritage. The book is organized by food type—cheeses, fruits, greens and vegetables, pastas and risottos, fowl, sugar and sweets, and more—making it easier for cooks to focus on fresh local ingredients. Helpful cooking tips, nuggets of culinary history, and expert wine and beverage pairing suggestions sprinkled throughout are informative and inspiring. The recipes are as ambitious as they are tempting: sweet chocolate-date tamales; andouille sausage, cheddar, and mustard biscuits; Mayan citrus salad, cumin and paprika spiced beef empanadas; and other signature dishes from his restaurant are presented with clear step-by-step guidance and an abundance of artfully styled color photographs. Adventurous home cooks and food lovers who want to expand their palates and knowledge of global cuisine will be happy to put themselves in the hands of an authentic culinary master who exudes warmth, hospitality, and casual elegance.” —Booklist
