Simply Delicioso

Simply Delicioso

Celebrate contemporary Latin taste and all its distinctive flavors with the Food Network’s rising star Ingrid Hoffmann, the woman who defines “muy rico.” On her Miami-based show, Simply Delicioso, Ingrid’s love for creating Latin-inspired dishes shines through as she introduces us to lively menus, clever tips, and time-saving shortcuts—we’re thrilled to say that her first cookbook is every bit as passionate! Starting with a “Delicioso Pantry” section, Ingrid shares a list of the ingredients she uses to lighten up on the fat and enhance the flavor, such as: • Adobo: “The backbone of most Latin cooking…used like salt and pepper, adding a distinct lemony garlic flavor to meats, soups, rice, beans, and vegetable dishes.” • Scotch bonnet: “This is one of the hottest chiles around. Its flavor is fruity and smokey and used widely in Caribbean fare, such as jerk chicken.” And then there are her takes on Latin American standards and spiced-up twists on non-Latin classics—125 recipes from Yummy Avocado Sopita (“Sipping a luscious and silky spoonful is like slipping into something a little more comfortable") to Rum Chica Rum Chicken (“a perennial crowd pleaser”). Simply fabuloso! Color photos.
