James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz put Miami's Design District on the culinary map when he opened his restaurant, Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, in 2007. In a town where food and cocktails are as much a part of the pulse as tans and nightclubs, Michael's Genuine strikes a very different note. Reviving the city'ssdining scene from an overabundance of "Floribbean" cuisine, the restaurant quickly won national praise for its superlative yet unpretentious fare, with Frank Bruni of the New York Times naming it one of the country's top ten best new restaurants. In his first cookbook, Michael Schwartz shares his approachable, sought-after recipes with home cooks everywhere. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The Good Stuff
* Some of the pictures of the recipes are absolutely beautiful and make you want to make the recipe right away
* Directions are easy to follow
* Very creative recipes
* Nice to see full menu ideas (including cocktails)
* Very much into buying organic and locally, so very environmentally friendly
* The Banana Panini recipe was out of this world delicious, but they made it way too complicated sounding and I would have left out the toffee bits - And btw - you can make something similar while camping and just using a Pie Iron- doesn't look as nice but tastes just as good and way less complicated
The Not so Good Stuff
* Would only make about 10% of the recipes
* Pictures are uneven, some look very appetizing and others sort of turn you off
* Extremely regional, would be extremely difficult to make the recipes as listed if you live in Ontario
* A lot of frying
* The introduction almost turned me off wanting to do the recipes, chef seemed extremely full of himself and sort of high and mighty
Favorite Recipe's (Well we only made one)
Banana Toffee Panini - the picture itself is scrumptious
What I Learned
* How to make my own ricotta, which was interesting
Who should/shouldn't read
* This isn't for your day to day cook or those with younger kids
* Better suited for those from Florida or other warmer clients where buying locally is a little more varied than here in chilly Canada (During the winter only of course)
* Definitely suited more for the experienced cook, those who have money to buy organic, and for those who have access to varied ingredients - not for us in Bolton
