A Whirling Dervish and a True Virtuoso
. . . is how Bon Appetit describes Steven Raichlen, an
award-winning food writer who presents the very best of the new
Florida cuisine. In over 200 recipes, he captures the bursting
tropical flavors and exuberant combinations that arise when Latin
and Caribbean cooking meet Florida's native cornucopia-the stone
crab, mameys, snapper, blood oranges, and other exotic ingredients.
In Miami Spice, there are Conch Fritters and Plantain "Spiders," a
Macadamia-Crusted Pompano and Jamaican Jerk Rack of Lamb,
Chocolate-Banana Sin Cake and Cuban Coffee Brulee. It's hot! hot!
hot!
