An award-winning chef and author celebrates the regional flavors and the diverse ethnic influences that have shaped modern American cuisine, in a fully illustrated full-color collection of over 300 recipes, such as Mussels with Yucca Fries and Jerk-Spiced Catfish with Green Papaya Salad.
Chef Marcus Samuelsson, of New York City's Aquavit, lauds American cuisine in this far-reaching cookbook. Ethiopian by birth, but growing up in Sweden, Samuelsson came to America for a short time in the early 1990s, and found himself swept up in deliciousness. With his own unique viewpoint, he shares wonderful meals that dip into many ethnicities and regions. Recipes include Empanadas with Peanut-Mango Sambal; Bay Scallops with Nori-Spiced Watermelon; and Braised Pork Roast with Grilled Chile Vinaigrette; and Rustic Chocolate Tart. With photographs.
