Salmon Ceviche with Mango Serves 6 to 8 Ceviche is a great light dinner or starter that is made without the oven or stovetop; in fact, you stir it together in one dish, let it marinate for an hour, and there you have it, an instant healthy meal. I like to mix flavors from all over the world in my ceviche, and I have been especially influenced by the fish dishes of Southeast Asia and Japan. •4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets, cut into small cubes •1 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 large oranges) •1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3 lemons) •1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes) •1/2 cup soy sauce •1/2 cup mirin •1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced •1 mango, peeled, fruit cut off of the seed and diced •2 to 3 jalapeños (depending on how spicy you like your ceviche), sliced into rings, seeds removed •3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves •Tortilla chips, plantain chips, or canchita, for serving 1. Place the salmon in a medium bowl and mix with the orange, lemon, and lime juices. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the salmon, discarding the marinade, and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a clean bowl, and if not serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve or up to 1 hour. 2. Just before serving, stir the soy sauce, mirin, onion, mango, jalapeños, and cilantro into the salmon. Toss to coat and serve immediately with the tortilla chips, plantain chips, or canchita.

Library Journal Review

Colombian-born Hoffmann has lived in Miami for the last 17 years; she has a Spanish-language cooking and entertaining series on Galavision/Univision and is the host of a new Food Network show. This companion book to that series features her take on Latin cooking, from classics like Frijoles Rancheros to fusion dishes such as South-of-the-Border Bouillabaisse. Many recipes don't seem particularly Latin, and Hoffmann herself comes across as rather fatuous. Nevertheless, expect demand from fans of the TV shows. (c) Copyright 2010.

Publishers Weekly Review

In her first cookbook, Hoffmann (star of the eponymous Food Network show) shares her take on classic Latin American dishes as well as "spiced-up twists on non-Latin classics." Each recipe, she explains, takes a "practical, real approach to food." Hoffmann's many chapters include a breakfast section; "appeteasers," as she calls them; salads; main courses; and vegetables. Many familiar Latin recipes are included-tortillas and arroz con pollo, to name a couple. Hoffmann gives a Latin twist to basics like Eggs Benedict and Beef Noodles by adding such ingredients as chipotle chilis. Some of the recipes in this collection are appealing because of their simplicity, like the Lime Chicken with Quick Avocado Salsa, and Cumin Broiled Pork Chops. However, Hoffmann's dishes don't feel particularly inspired or original: for example, "Chica tips," scattered throughout, intend to share shortcuts, yet seem silly, and Hoffmann suggests eating lots of beets before beach trips in order to get a better tan. However, the Delicioso Pantry section (a list of ingredients Hoffmann considers indispensable) is informative and includes detailed definitions of various cheeses, fruits, vegetables and seasonings. Hoffmann's recipes in the beginning of the book for classic Latin sauces such as adobo seasoning, sofrito and jalapeno salsa are also good and provide solid building blocks for tasty dishes. (Feb.)

Born in Colombia and based in Miami, INGRID HOFFMANN has been fascinated with food, cooking, and style since she was a little girl. She started cooking with her mother, a Cordon Bleu chef, at such a young age that she needed a stool to reach the stove. With her mother she discovered not only a love of cooking but also a flair for entertaining, and in no time she developed her own distinctive style. Years later, Ingrid opened a successful restaurant and catering firm in Miami. She currently stars in Simply Delicioso on Food Network and Delicioso on Galavision/Univision, a Latin cooking and entertaining show.
