Oaxaca authors Bricia Lopez and Javier Cabral are back with the
first major cookbook about how to create asada-Mexican-style
grilled meat-at home In millions of backyards across Southern
California, an asada means a gathering of family, friends, great
music, cold drinks, good times, and community-all centered around
the primal allure of juicy, smoky grilled meat with flavors and
spices traditional to Mexico. The smell of asada is a cloud of joy
that lingers in the streets of Los Angeles. With Asada: The Art of
Mexican-Style Grilling, Mexican food authorities and the authors of
Oaxaca, Bricia Lopez and Javier Cabral, are back with more than 100
recipes that show you how to prepare the right dishes and drinks
for your next carne asada gathering. Asada will both guide you in
crafting mouthwatering food and inspire the right laidback
atmosphere. Everyone says they love a spicy margarita and asada
tacos, but very few understand the culture that informs these
flavors. Divided into the eight crucial elements of any carne
asada: botanas (appetizers), carnes (meats), mariscos (seafood),
side dishes and vegetables, salsas, aguas frescas, cocktails, and
dessert, Asada walks you through every step. From Lopez's secret
"michelada marinade" to game-changing salsas that will elevate any
grilled meat, this cookbook is the ultimate guide to making and
beginning to understand the magic of asada.
