Latin Evolution contains a wide variety of recipes spanning the globe, from the Basque region of Spain to the coast of Peru to the heart of Mexico City. Some dishes are inspired by Chef Garces’ childhood, some developed and featured at his restaurants. Others are based on his far-reaching culinary imagination. To invigorate traditional recipes, he makes use of new ingredients and techniques, often producing surprising combinations. Behind these recipes are unexpected shapes, textures, colors and, of course, flavors.
The flavors and cooking styles of Spain and Latin America have become increasingly popular with American diners and foodies. In this debut collection of recipes, chef Jose Garces explores the future direction of these cuisines through the use of new ingredients and techniques; for example, the classic Mexican dish Turkey Mole featuring sesame-seed praline and shavings of Valrhona chocolate. Professional chefs and adventurous home cooks will find unlimited inspiration in this comprehensive and beautifully designed book.
