For flavor-craving, art-loving, community-celebrating homecooks,
the first cookbook from Lil' Deb's Oasis, a James Beard
Award-nominated hotspot in Hudson, New York, serves up seventy
tropical comfort" recipes, alongside musings on wine, music, love,
sex, friendship, and fashion. When Carla Perez-Gallardo and Hannah
Black first crossed paths in the Hudson Valley it was culinary
kismet. Both had turned to the food world after art school, and
their collaboration quickly evolved from popular pop-up dinners to
the 2016 opening of their restaurant in Hudson, where they have
created an oasis of pleasure and community, with nourishment and
connection as the central tenets. In Please Wait to Be Tasted (a
phrase posted in the restaurant's waiting area) home cooks are
invited into the rainbow-colored world of Lil' Deb's Oasis via
recipes steeped in "hot, sticky, juicy, moist fever-dreams of
flavor," stories of the restaurant's origins as an art installation
of kitschy visual delight, and all manner of advice-how to throw a
tamale party or pen a wine poem. Recipes mesh deep respect for
cultural traditions with a twist of irreverence-Sweet Plantains
with Green Cream, Ceviche Mixto with Popcorn, Fishbone Soup,
Charred Octopus in the Ink of Its Cousin, Whole Fried Fish, and
Abuela's Flan-and are organized into chapters that align the many
pleasures of Lil' Deb's with the throws of romantic encounters. A
foreword by neo-soul singer-songwriter Meshell Ndegeocello attests
to the love and magic of the food and friendship that has made her
a regular at Lil' Deb's Oasis."
