Lourdes Castro, an adjunct in the nutrition program, has published a new cookbook called Latin Grilling: Recipes to Shar, from Patagonian Asado to Yucatecan Barbecue and More.
Summary:
From the steamy jungles of the Yucatán to the verdant valleys along the andes, Latin
Grilling goes beyond typical barbecue fare and familiar Mexican and
Tex-Mex standards to present more than 90 recipes that showcase the
diversity of Latin American cooking. Acclaimed cooking teacher Lourdes
Castro takes you on a culinary tour of the Americas with ten fiestas
featuring authentic Latin American flavors tailored for home cooking and
backyard grilling.
In
addition to steak and other grilled meats, Latin Grilling includes
options for chicken, fish, shrimp, and vegetables to offer a bounty of
delicious dishes sure to please all of your guests. Kick off your
Peruvian party with a trio of fresh ceviches or host a Cuban Cookout
complete with a whole roasted hog. With country-by-country entertaining
plans and menus including beverages, starters, entrées, sides, and
desserts, this celebration of traditional Latin-American grilling is a
refreshing change of pace. Lourdes captures the essence of Latin America
in each meticulously formulated recipe, and to ensure you feel
comfortable at the grill, she shares tips and notes on ingredients,
flavor variations, techniques, and entertaining ideas throughout.
