The purpose of this blog is to document my attempt to finish every recipe in Jose Garces' Latin Evolution cookbook. Yea, yea, I know it seems like a blatant rip-off of some other blog that became a movie...but its not. I really just needed a way to keep a record of every mistake or miscalculation I made trying to reproduce some pretty complicated dishes.
A little background...I must admit that I really knew nothing of Jose Garces until he became an iron chef. My wife and I travel to Philadelphia a lot and are always looking for good restaurants to visit. We decided to try Amada because we heard it was great and thought it would be cool to taste the food created by an Iron Chef. We went and she was surprised to find that a good high school friend of hers is a manager at Amada. He made sure we loved everything and needless to say, we had an amazing time and the food was incredible. Since then we've been to Tinto, Distrito, and Chifa. We soon will be trying out the Sparkling Wine menu at JG Domestic and then back to Distrito for New Year's dinner.
I received the cookbook as a Christmas present this year and I want to make as many as the dishes as possible over the next few years. I am going to start with "Halibut Fish Tacos with Chipotle Remoulade and Pickled Red Cabbage". It seems like the easiest recipe in the book. A great place to start.
