Love the flavors and tastes of Baja? You can prepare authentic and Baja-inspired recipes in your kitchen from the award-winning cookbook Baja! Cooking on the Edge from Executive Chef Deborah Schneider at SOL Cocina and solita Tacos & Margaritas. The second edition was just released, when it came out in 2006, it was named one of the "Best Cookbooks of the Year" by Food & Wine magazine.
Chef Deb takes readers on an appetizing journey through the Baja California region of Mexico and features more than 150 easy-to-follow recipes, along with vibrant photos and stories from her travels. Chef Deb explores cultural influences of Baja street food — everything from the classic Fish Tacos and Seafood Cocktels, to a wide range of inspired meat-based tacos — chicken, pork, chorizo — and fresh salsas. Baja recipes include favorites like Clams in Tequila Butter, One-Pan Paella, Garlic Cilantro Steak, and Chocolate-Jalapeño Truffles.
