Brilliant color, bold flavors, and an innovative mix of the traditional and modern are the hallmarks of Daisy Martinez's cooking on her Food Network show, "Viva Daisy " In this lavish collection of 150 recipes, the can't-fail dishes Daisy learned to cook alongside her mother and grandmother in Puerto Rico mingle with the recipes she has picked up during her travels around the Spanish-speaking world, to create a classic cookbook that encompasses the very best of Latin cuisine. Daisy believes that the act of cooking and sharing food with your family is more than just a culinary experience, it's an opportunity to create memories with your loved ones.

Conveniently divided into Morning, Noon, and Night sections, "Daisy: Morning, Noon and Night" begins with sweet and savory breakfast treats, such as Peruvian tamales stuffed with raisins. A light noontime meal features Berengena con Coco (braised eggplant with coconut milk) from the Dominican Republic. And then there are the nighttime meals--everything from Arepitas de Yuca (yucca fritters) with pineapple-vinegar-chile dipping sauce to Tamarind Rum Glazed Chicken Wings.
With her trademark warmth and candor, Daisy demystifies the staple ingredients of the Latin kitchen--which many people walk right by during their trips to the supermarket--and provides easy tips to help "Daisify" everyday dishes and turn each meal into an unforgettable memory.
