Home cooks will love serving up "hot, sticky, juicy, moist fever dreams of flavor" in this bold-flavored tropical comfort food cookbook from Lil' Deb's Oasis, the James Beard Award-nominated hotspot in Hudson, New York. More than a collection of over 70 recipes, such as Charred Octopus in the Ink of Its Cousin, Sweet Plantains with Green Cream, Abuela's Flan, and more, it's also a big-hearted celebration of food, love, and community, with essays on the restaurant's beginnings and the chefs' navigation of the colonial histories entangled in their recipes' origins; tips on techniques, tools, and pantry; and lessons on how to eat well together.
