The Cookbook
Julia Child introduced us to French cooking. Lidia Bastianich introduced us to Italian cooking. Now Daisy Martinez will introduce all of America to Latin cooking - her way. In a country where salsa now outsells ketchup, Daisy Martinez is on a mission to change the way we cook. In her new cookbook, a tie-in to her public television show, Daisy introduces us to the mouthwatering meals of her Latin ancestry - and not just to the pork, beans, rice, and burritos many people associate with Latino culture. Here are Stuffed Yucca Fritters, Peruvian Minestrone, and Braised Chicken with Figs, to name just a few. By combining the delicious flavor of Latino cultures with ingredients available in any kitchen, Daisy shows us how to "daisy-fy" regular meals and turn them into something extraordinary.

Divided into twelve chapters such as Turnovers and Tamales, Appetizers and Little Bites, Soups and One-Bowl Meals, and Chicken, Duck and Turkey, and filled with more than 200 recipes and color photographs throughout, this is a cookbook that will introduce a new culinary star.

Special features in the book include: Daisy's Top Ten: palate-rocking staple dishes and condiments that will expand your repertoire. Daisy's Corner: a series of essays about the intersection of food, family and culture.

The DVD
The Daisy Cooks Bonus DVD runs almost 2 hours and features three entire shows and the complete, never seen on TV, Daisy Martinez pilot show. In the pilot Daisy talks about her life and her introduction to the joys of cooking from her abuela, mother and father. And she shows us how to prepare her mother's sofrito, achiote oil, perfect yellow rice and a divine fish & seafood stew that is ready in 20 minutes.
