Customer Reviews

Inspired different salsas of all types are in this nice book

Sometimes all you need to make a food entree really "sing" is to add a salsa. No matter what kind of food you are having you can find a great one in the book called The Great Salsa Book by the great Chef Mark Miller. Several salsa types included in this book are : tomato and Tomatillo, Chile , Tropical , Fruit , corns , Bean, Garden, Nut, seed and herb , Ocean and exotic. In the book there are also cooking techniques, a glossary, sources to find ingredients and conversion scales. The recipes are not complicated, usually don't involve too many ingredients and are indeed many are not ordinary. If you don't like to experiment and try something new this book is not for you. But I love to experiment and work with new ingredients and more. The one I tried today with breaded tilapia was the Sun- dried Tomato salsa (anchovy, garlic, basil , thyme, sun dried tomatoes and more spices) gave it nice salty but garlicy/ oniony spin. I would rate it 9.4/10. Ones that I have tried are the Tricolor salsa (9.6/10), Chipotle Tomatillo (9.6/10), Apple and Green chile salsa (9.4/10). Fabulous ones are the Corn and Green Chile salsa (9.8/10) and the Barbados Black Bean salsa (9.8/10). BBQ and eating season is upon us. You can be sure I will try more of these amazing salsas. Find the book and try them for yourself!

In the back of the cookbook there is a helpful conversion chart, sources for ingredients, a glossary of terms, and cooking technique explanations. I highly recommend adding this book to your cookbook collection. Your friends & family will love all the recipes! :)

Be prepared for others to ask you for the recipe(s)

This book resulting in me becoming the salsa expert among my family and friends. I was even able to impress company executives with minimal cooking experience. I apply techniques explained in this book on other recipes (such as blackening tomatos and red peppers. Many friends have purchased this book after I cooked them a dish from it.

Great Recipes

We made 5 of the recipes for our salsa party and everybody loved it.We would definitely make them again and try some more.

Many good recipes to use.

I prepared 5 'salsas' from this book the first time I used it. They push the boundaries of what is a salsa to encompass a wide variety of food types. Anyone can find at least one favorite recipe in this book.
