Salpicon Cookbook: Contemporary Mexican Cuisine

Foreword by Charlie Trotter.

The Salpicon Restaurant Cookbook is a collection of inventive and upscale Mexican recipes based upon the signature dishes served at the award-winning Salpicon restaurant in Chicago. Chef and proprietor Priscila Satkoff adds traditional Mexican flavors to familiar dishes as a way to introduce the home chef to the diversity and easy elegance of Mexican cooking. Sommelier Vincent Satkoff matches each recipe with a wine suggestion and provides a wine/flavor pairing chart, enabling readers to advance their complementary beverage choices beyond beer and margaritas. The book also offers a glossary that defines key Mexican ingredients and offers preparation tips and techniques, as well as differentiating the variety of chiles and other produce used in the recipes.
