Douglas Rodriguez's Latin flavors on the grill

the long version

Fire up the grill and get ready to mambo! Tired of the same ol’ marinades and barbecue sauces? Well, Nuevo Latino king Douglas Rodriguez and sous chef Andrew DiCataldo have the recipes that grillmeisters need to spice things up and expand their repertoire. Drawing on spices, authentic dishes, and grilling techniques from over 20 Latin American countries, Rodriguez and DiCataldo share the secrets of these dynamic cuisines. True to Rodriguez’s reputation for inventive Latin fusion food, these 100-plus recipes deliver exotic, seductive flavors, all married by the intense heat of the grill. Recipes range from seafood, meat, game, and poultry entr?©es to desserts and drinks (after all, tending the grill is so much more fun with a tropical drink in hand!). Douglas Rodriguez is regarded as the creator of Nuevo Latino fusion cuisine, and his books have sold more than 60,000 copies.
