Review
"Gaby brings so much life and love into everything she prepares. Her recipes are a great go-to for any occasion!" --Jessica Simpson
Synopsis
Whether they're served with foods like tacos or mashed up into classic guacamole, avocados are a long-time favorite, which makes it hard to believe a major publisher has never published a book on the subject. Blogger Gaby Dalkin of What's Gaby Cooking (www.whatsgabycooking.com) can't get enough of avocados, and so she's the perfect person to write this book -- no stone is left unturned. Avocados for breakfast? Fans will love the Avocado and Chorizo Breakfast Hash. Of course avocado is great with meat and fish, such as in Carnitas with Chipotle Guacamole and Pan Seared Salmon with Avocado Pepper Relish. This is bold food for people who love a little kick in their cooking. And yes, there are even desserts, such as the Avacado Chocolate Chip Cookies. In addition to primers about buying and storing avocados, there are gorgeous photos throughout by popular photographer and blogger Matt Armendariz (www.mattbites.com), all in a gifty, affordable package lending the book well to cross-merchandising and summertime-themed displays in a variety of retailers.
