The Food of Miami: Authentic Receipes from South Florida and the Keys (Periplus World Food Cookbooks)

Summary: A food-lover from South Florida loves this book
Review: This is the Real McCoy, not just another pretty picture book. While the pictures are as stunning as we've become accustomed to expect in high quality, food-oriented books these days, it's the recipes that define this extraordinary work.

The author, herself a Floridian, has exercised her native sense of balance in assembling a unique complement of South Florida's finest chefs - some very well known and some on the "up" ramp of their careers - to create the cultural mosaic which, in fact, IS South Florida.

Each of the recipes has been tested many times for home kitchen preparation, making this a very practical volume as well as a legitimate teaser to entice you to the establishments of the chefs themselves.

And how many "producers" like Ms. Stuart are capable of starring in their own production like she is - by contributing her own recipes to fully balance the content of her work?

You won't need any other book to understand, appreciate, prepare and enjoy the unique cuisine of South Florida. This book's food will make you feel the sand in your shoes and the salt air in your hair. You'll swear that you're in the Florida tropics already. And your guests for whom you prepare the recipes will surely request more.

This is the first real tribute to South Florida's diverse, exciting and totally unique cuisine. I highly recommend it.
