Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- Who says you can't put tequila in sangrias? In Kim Haasarud's latest title, 101 SANGRIAS & PITCHER DRINKS (Wiley Hardcover; $16.95; March 10, 2008), her recipe Sangria Rita is perfect for a large gathering on a hot day. Top this refreshing communal drink off with seasonal fruit items like oranges, lemons, and limes, and you are sure to stir up good times.
It isn't Cinco de Mayo unless you serve guacamole. Drinks in hand, serve this appetizer and your guests are sure to feel welcome with this simple, flavorful take on this classic Mexican favorite found in Jeff Cox's book, THE ORGANIC FOOD SHOPPER'S GUIDE (Wiley Paperback; February 25, 2008; $14.95) - this year, go green by going organic, and create a more memorable dish using organic produce.
Serve a restaurant quality entree that will leave your friends and family wanting more! Joey Altman, author of WITHOUT RESERVATIONS: How to Make Bold, Creative, Flavorful Food at Home (Wiley Hardcover; April 28, 2008; $35.00), shares his culinary secrets for easily making at home the dishes that everyone loves. Whether your meal is around the table, or a backyard gathering, Altman's Seven-Chile Barbecue Beef Ribs are rich, flavorful, and plentiful. Made with dried pequin, guajillo, cascabel, ancho, and New Mexican red chiles, this dish is sure to spice up the fiesta.
For all the vegetarians and non-vegetarians that may show up to your fiesta, Carol Gelles' recipe for Jalapeno Carrots from her latest title 100 BEST VEGETARIAN RECIPES (Wiley Cloth; $16.95; April 28, 2008), is the perfect companion dish to the Seven-Chile Barbecue Beef Ribs. A little bit of sweet and a little bit of spicy is sure to go a long way with your guests.
Dessert is the grand finale of any meal, and in keeping with the Mexican theme, Sam Zien's book SAM THE COOKING GUY: JUST A BUNCH OF RECIPES (Wiley Paperback; March 31, 2008; $18.95), has some fabulous Mexican recipes, particularly his take on Bunuelos--or as he calls them, Easy Bunuelos. They are baked instead of fried, and are topped with a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar. Delicious, easy, and simple, and they will save you time in the kitchen.
