José Andrés is famous for his huge heart and bottomless appetite for life—and for his belief that vegetables can save the world. Showing us how to transpose the varied flavors of a global pantry onto ingredients we may have written off as bland and uninspiring, Cocina liberada showcases Andrés’s wide-ranging vision and international flair.
Highlighting everything from the simple pleasure of a Beefsteak Tomato Sandwich to the savory satisfaction of Mushroom Ramen to the secret to making great Gazpacho out of almost anything in the produce aisle, Cocina liberada gives us the recipes, tricks, and tips behind the dishes that have made Andrés one of America’s most important chefs and that promise to completely change our relationship to the plant kingdom.
This cookbook is filled with infectious enthusiasm and brought to life by Andrés’s globe-trotting culinary adventures. It will show the home cook how to approach cooking vegetables in an entirely fresh and surprising way, one that is not only better for the planet, but is also satisfyingly flavorful and unexpected.
