Library Journal Review
Home cooks were introduced to actor Trejo as a foodie and restaurateur with his first cookbook, Trejo's Tacos. His passion for food and his love of Los Angeles continue to be hallmarks in his latest cookbook, which celebrates the cantina and the gathering of friends to unwind over drinks and snacks. Don't think that this is all about cocktails: Trejo, who hasn't had a drink in 50 years, opens the book with 40 nonalcoholic drinks. The introduction takes readers through everything needed to create a home bar, from spirits and mixers to glassware, and even how to build a booze-free bar. The extensive list of drinks is accompanied by snacks and shareable mains. Recipes focus on fresh ingredients and simple preparation but deliver huge flavors in recipes such as Badass Blender Salsa, which will make cooks wonder why they ever bought jarred salsa to start with. Fans and newcomers alike will love Trejo's stories and commentary on life, L.A., and food. VERDICT While the heart of Trejo's efforts is giving home cooks the tools to entertain with ease, readers will find the recipes so practical and scrumptious that they will work their way into the regular rotation.--Sarah TansleyThere are no comments on this title.
