by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in American, Baking, books, cookbook, cookbook review, Dessert, recipe, review, Uncategorized

Milk Street BAKES (Amazon affiliate link) This is a fabulous baking book! And in Milk Street tradition, it’s filled with recipes that aren’t going to be in the average baking book. So many delicious and unexpected bakes! This is a really fun book to play in. It will be loved by the amateur and the experienced baker alike. It’s a huge volume and the cover design is just gorgeous.

I’ll tell you all about the bakes we tried, but let’s get you that Almond-Coconut Cake with Cherries and Pistachios recipe first! Love love love this cake. Every bite is filled with big pops of flavor. My daughter laughed and said this is what people want fruit cake to taste like. Moist, dense, and rich, and filled with cherries, coconut, and pistachios. Strongly flavored and not a bit sweeter than it needs to be. Go make it. Hug me later!

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in cookbook review, foodie, global, Greek, recipe, review

I love the new Milk Street 365! It’s a huge book of International recipes. The beauty of Milk Street is that they deliver all the flavor, but in the easiest way possible. Delicious minimalism. Totally appropriate for everyone from the kitchen newbie to the well-seasoned foodie! Did you pick up a copy yet?

Plantain nachos with carnitas and black beans recipe – Nachos for Dinner

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in American, cookbook, recipe, review

Nachos for Dinner. Yeah. They totally had me at hello with this title. This is a really fun book! Nachos running the full circuit from traditional to highly imaginative. He has really thought of everything. Everything we tried was delicious and the names he made up had us cracking up. Soupchos, anyone??

Got a recipe for you to try! Plantain nachos with carnitas and black beans. Outstanding! Super flavorful pork over plantain chips with cheddar, black beans, Chihuahua cheese, lime crema, habanana sauce, and avocado. It was a meat and plant fest! Oh, that habanana sauce! Bananas, a ton of habaneros, with onions, cilantro, and garlic. It looks scary hot, but it’s a wonderfully flavorful sweet heat. We love this sauce. Love. I think you will, too! The book comes out this Tuesday! If you grab the book, be sure to make the Buffalo chicken nachos next!
