Ceviche or Fit and Fast Meals in Minutes

Ceviche!: Seafood, Salads, and Cocktails with a Latino Twist

Author: Guillermo Pernot

Nuevo Latino never tasted as cool, hot, and delicious as it does in this sophisticated cookbook that explores in depth the popular South and Central American specialty of fish and seafood marinated in citrus, herbs, and spices. Argentine chef Guillermo Pernot presents fabulous recipes that make the most of both raw and cooked fish and shellfish, as well as fruits, vegetables, and even beef. Salads, salsas, croquetas, chips, and other savory accompaniments from Pernot's acclaimed restaurant ¡Pasión! -- which John Mariani, food and travel correspondent for Esquire, called "perhaps the best exemplar of Nuevo Latino food in America" -- round out the savory mix. Recipes include Bahian Lobster Ceviche with Passion Fruit Mojo and Grilled Papaya Salad, Argentinian Beef Roll Ceviche, Spinach-Pine Nut Croquetas, Garlic Escabeche, Crispy Malanga Chips, Pineapple-Chile Pequin Salsa, plus sexy Latin cocktails such as Papi Sour, Rum Negroni, Mango Daiquiri, and Caipirinha ¡Pasión!

Author: Linda Gassenheimer

Quick, healthy, great-tasting meals—using the same approach as the author's enormously popular Dinner in Minutes column that reaches millions of readers each week

 

When Linda Gassenheimer's bestselling cookbook Low-Carb Meals in Minutes appeared, famed chef Jacques Pépin cheered: "What starts as a diet book becomes the blueprint for a healthy lifestyle based on appealing recipes that are quick and easy to prepare." Reviewers greeted her previous work with similar enthusiasm. Now this award-winning author has applied her Meals in Minutes formula to the latest USDA dietary guidelines—emphasizing portion control and more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and the result is a treasury of 150 enticing recipes, organized into a sensational 4-week meal plan.

Recipes range from Asian to Mediterranean, from Tex-Mex to Caribbean, from breakfasts like Wild Mushroom Parmesan Omelet to show-stopping dinners like Sicilian Swordfish with Broccoli Linguine. Mouthwatering desserts complete the meals, like the Velvety Chocolate Mousse that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. Helpful shopping lists make stocking the kitchen as efficient as possible, and smart advice on substitutions allows readers to take advantage of seasonal and discounted ingredients. Enjoying good food that's good for you has never been simpler, or, as the Rocky Mountain News has raved about the author's Dinner in Minutes: "She does everything except come to your home and cook it for you."
