Product Description
Nuevo Latino never tasted as cool, hot, and delicious as it does in this sophisticated cookbook that explores in depth the popular South and Central American specialty of fish and seafood marinated in citrus, herbs, and spices. Argentine chef Guillermo Pernot presents fabulous recipes that make the most of both raw and cooked fish and shellfish, as well as fruits, vegetables, and even beef. Salads, salsas, croquetas, chips, and other savory accompaniments from Pernot's acclaimed restaurant ¡Pasión! -- which John Mariani, food and travel correspondent for Esquire, called "perhaps the best exemplar of Nuevo Latino food in America" -- round out the savory mix. Recipes include Bahian Lobster Ceviche with Passion Fruit Mojo and Grilled Papaya Salad, Argentinian Beef Roll Ceviche, Spinach-Pine Nut Croquetas, Garlic Escabeche, Crispy Malanga Chips, Pineapple-Chile Pequin Salsa, plus sexy Latin cocktails such as Papi Sour, Rum Negroni, Mango Daiquiri, and Caipirinha ¡Pasión!
Amazon.com Review
Guillermo Pernot's ¡Ceviche! boldly expands the traditional recipe for ceviche in 48 variations to encompass a world of flavors. Pernot's signature recipes from his Philadelphia restaurant, ¡Pasión!, are a fusion of Latin American and Asian cuisines. Divided between ceviches made with fresh seafood and fish and those made with cooked, the book also includes vegetarian ceviches, salads, salsas, and vinaigrettes. Some of the recipes, such as Bay Scallop Ceviche with Blackened Tomatillo-Truffle Sauce, are surprisingly easy to make (it uses truffle oil, not whole truffles). Others are more complicated, such as Lobster and Vanilla Bean Ceviche, but the results are so impressive they're well worth your time. There's even an Argentinean Beef Roll Ceviche, beautifully marinated with star anise, white peppercorns, Thai fish sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. A chapter at the end shares a dozen cocktails popular at ¡Pasión!, including a Brazilian Caipirinha, an Italian Rum Negroni, and a Cuban Mango Daiquiri. This cookbook is easily a party in the making. --Leora Y. Bloom
