"[Gutierrez's] approach to cooking reflects the fusion of both cultures." - Library Journal "A beautiful marriage of cultures." - USA Today Hispanic Living "Few authors are so thoroughly integrated into a cookbook. . . . Her personality is palpable throughout. Using the book is almost like having Gutierrez beside you in your kitchen." - Damon Lee Fowler, Savannah Morning News "A wonderful cookbook and a fact-filled guide to the fusion of Southern and Latino cooking. . . . This skillful foray into the cuisine of the Americas. . . . is a tremendously valuable addition to the bookshelves of both serious and casual cooks." - ForeWord "A great culinary merger proposition." - LAWeekly "The gift of this book is the introduction of flavor combinations that you may never have imagined. Unlike many Southern recipe collections that overlap somewhat, The New Southern-Latino Table fills a unique niche. This is the perfect gift for cooks who already have a large collection of cookbooks. I know of nothing else quite like it." - Moreton Neal, MetroMag "The Latino palate and the Southern palate are two distinct tastes from seemingly distinct worlds. However, chef Sandra Gutierrez has brought them together in her unique cookbook." - Latin TRENDS "The perfect author for a subject long-ignored and long-overdue. . . . A teaching book - a master class." - Jean Anderson Cooks "For the food-obsessed, snuggling up to The New Southern-Latino Table cookbook is akin to a new love affair. It comes with all the warmth of tender familiarity while simultaneously sparking an impassioned interest in what is more compatible than imagined." - Independent Weekly "[A] user-friendly book . . . . her experience as a cooking teacher shows in the clearly written recipes." - Debbie Moose
