Salsa Daddy: A Cookbook: Dip Your Way Into Mexican Cooking

"For a long time, I had a pretty limited idea of what salsa was: usually a green or red sauce that comes in a jar, purchased at the grocery store. But Salsa Daddy by James Beard Award-winning author Rick Martínez explodes that idea. His book includes recipes for Chocolate Picante, a dessert salsa made with chocolate and chile de árbol, and La Pepita Roja, a Mayan-inspired salsa made with pumpkin seeds. Salsas are foundational to Mexican cooking, and Salsa Daddy demonstrates how vast the world of salsa really is. Along the way, he offers suggestions for foods to pair each salsa with. Although the cookbook mostly consists of salsa recipes, Martínez includes a few recipes for other classic Mexican dishes as well."
