Nueva Salsa: Recipes to Spice It Up

by Rafael Palomino, Arlen Gargagliano, Miki Duisterhof (Photographs)

Believe it or not, salsa beats ketchup as the number 1 condiment. Its number 1 for flavor, variety, and spice, too. And salsas are fast and easy to make at home. Nueva Salsa offers over 60 irresistible ways to get those taste buds dancing, from traditional, tomato-based versions such as Roasted Poblano Chiles, Tomato and Avocado to Asian-inspired salsas such as Kimchee and Mango. Ingredients like wasabi, guava, and manchego cheese are now easily found in local markets and create new and unusual salsa sensations. In the sweet not heat department, theres decadent Dulce de Leche Fruit Salsa and fruity Three Berry Aguardiente, the perfect complement to a savory entre, buttery shortbread, or a good old bowl of vanilla ice cream. It only takes a few minutes to add that little chispa-spark- to any dish, or turn ordinary tortilla chips into a uniquely tasty treat with Nueva Salsa, the next wave in salsa flavor.

Except for the fact I think cilantro tastes like soap, so I wouldn't be adding it to any salsas I make, the book was pretty decent. A bit repetitive in places, but recipe books often are when they deal with just one subject. I'll probably try at least a few of the recipes at some point.

A very good variety of salsas.
