Wanda's Review: Tacolicious will truly satisfy your Mexican food cravings. And it certainly shows that these recipes can easily be made at home.
The cookbook begins with How to cook with this book – giving techniques that are basic, but essential ----
Toasting spices
Toasting, frying, and soaking dried chiles.
Roasting, broiling, and grilling vegetables.
The cookbook is divided into the following sections:
Salsas, Pickles + More
Snacks + Sides
Tacos, Tacos, + Tacos
Cocktails, Aguas Frescas + More
I’ve tried Pickled-cauliflower, carrots, and jalapenos –
quite good – and Pickled red onions – a bit salty, but will make again, using
less salt. I have several more recipes
earmarked to try in the near future.
The recipes are impressive, and it’s laid out in an easy to
use manner with some beautiful pictures.
However, I wish there were pictures for every recipe. I would like to see the finished product and
pictures certainly entice the taste buds.
This would make a wonderful gift for the new bride or
really, just about anyone. No doubt about it, Tacolicious has a large array of
mouth-watering recipes. And it is a
wonderful addition to my collection of cookbooks. My rating is 4 stars.
Tacos may be the most universally loved, happy-making food on earth. After all, who can say no to a juicy, spicy Chile verde taco; a decadently deep-fried Baja-style fish taco; or a gloriously porky Carnitas taco? At Tacolicious, the San Francisco Bay Area’s most popular Mexican restaurant, tacos are a way of life. And now, in this hotly anticipated cookbook, co-owner Sara Deseran shares all of the restaurant’s tortilla-wrapped secrets. Whether you’re seeking quick and easy weeknight meals or inspiration for a fabulous fiesta, Tacolicious has you covered. With recipes for showstopping salsas, crave-worthy snacks, cocktails and mocktails, and, of course, tacos galore, this festive collection is chock-full of real Mexican flavor—with a delicious California twist.
