Salsa

by Reed Hearon, Karen Capucilli (Photographer)

Salsa is hot. Salsa goes with anything and is never boring. Salsa is fresh, healthy, intense, easy to make. Sales of salsa have now surpassed those of ketchup and show no signs of slowing. Written by acclaimed chef Reed Hearon, formerly of Santa Fe's Coyote Cafe, and designed by the internationally renowned Carbone Smolan Associates, this selection of 40 authentic, festively photographed salsa recipes offers a comprehensive look at one of Mexico's national treasures. Divided into four chapters (fiery traditional salsas, mild salsas, contemporary salsas, and dessert salsas), and including complete information on cooking techniques, equipment, and ingredient sources, this collection of fresh, easily prepared salsas can turn the simplest of dishes into lively, exciting, upbeat meals.

This book is our favorite salsa book of all times. We have made almost every recipe in the book, and have not been disappointed by any of them.

Everything you ever wanted to know about salsa and peppers but were afraid to ask...or eat...or try. This book describes the typical ingredients in salsa (all the different peppers) and includes recipes for hot, mild and dessert salsas. It's a beautiful little book and the photos made me want to eat the pages.

The book has good information oningredients and recipes, however the layout and style of the book make it hard to read. It would be helpful if there were more clarification of how to use some of the recipes with different foods. Insead of random small pictures, full pictures of some or most of the recipes should have been included.

There is great information in the book, but the layout and formatting of the book works against delivering that information.

Delicious salsa recipes. I learned a lot! I’ve made many of the recipes multiple times.
