The recipes in this cookbook are awesome! The smells incredible. A flan that will literally curl your toes, the possibilities of combinations are endless. The best base for it can be found here.
A great book from a generous and talented cook! Thanks Daisy for sharing these family secrets with the general public. You're a better person than I :o) I'm quite stingy with my recipes, no amount of money could make me part with some of them :o)

Daisy? Doesn't sound Latin. But she is!! The cookbook is great and I have many. This is my new favorite. I'm tired of cooking the same old dishes. Italian, steaks, novelle. I have a new direction. The recipies are easy to follow and the illustrations are excellent. I highly recommend this book. The "ropo vieja" was my first. Don't be stingy with the soprito!! Gracias!
