"RIOS GRANDE." --Santa Fe New Mexican "Martin Rios is one of the most talented, inquisitive and creative chefs to have come through my very tough kitchen at a very young age. It was a pleasure to work with him early in his career and an even greater pleasure to recommend this beautiful book which so fully encapsulates his many talents. I am extremely proud of Martin... keep up the great work, Jennifer and Martin." --Chef David Burke, NYC "Martin has a very personal way of cooking. His deep understanding of flavors, balance, and seasoning, results in extraordinary and surprising compositions. When I eat his food, it is clear to me he puts his heart into it." --Chef Gabriel Kreuther, Restaurant Gabriel Kreuther "I have long been a fan of Martin Rios and consider him one of the most creative, vibrant, and consistent chefs practicing in the Southwest today. Restaurant Martin is the quintessential Santa Fe restaurant and if you have time for only one meal while in town, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better, more definitive one. So no one was more excited than me to discover that Martin was publishing his first cookbook. This book will be a brilliant addition to the shelves of accomplished chefs and home cooks alike. Slow-Roasted Whole Chicken with Watercress-Apple Salad and Citrus Pan Sauce is the ultimate comfort food while Popcorn Ice Cream with Sweet and Salty Caramel Sauce is the mark of true innovative master." --Stephan Pyles, chef, author and the Southwest's First James Beard Award Winner
