Sylvia Abril has always been surrounded by the flavors of Sonoran cooking. As a young girl she enjoyed spending time in her grandmother's Mexican kitchen, watching skilled hands stretch homemade tortillas and stir together sauces bursting with aromas of fresh chiles and spices. She grew up in the markets and small restaurants her parents owned in Phoenix, Arizona - and along with her six siblings, learned the food service business from the inside out. Favorite dishes were prepared for patrons in the family's neighborhood restaurants, and new recipes were created for guests with insatiable tastes for flavorful Sonoran cuisine.
Today, in her own restaurant, Sylvia's La Canasta Restaurante, Abril serves a full menu of Sonoran favorites. Through her catering and specialized food products businesses, she introduces even more customers to distinctive Sonoran-style dishes. And now, in her first cookbook - Sylvia Cooks Sonoran Style - Abril shares a part of her passion for preparing flavorful, festive Sonoran food and drinks for your family's table.
Inside Sylvia Cooks Sonoran Style you'll learn how to recreate some of her most often-requested restaurant dishes - such as Menudo Rojo, Chile Rellenos and Chorizo con Huevos - along with family favorites Mariscos con Arroz, frijoles and Tia's Tequila Quenchers. Abril's collection of recipes includes salsas and appetizers, sopas (soups), side dishes, breakfast favorites, dinner entrees, postres (desserts), and bebidas (beverages). Along with detailed ingredient lists and preparation instructions, Abril walks both the novice and experienced Sonoran cook through time-honed techniques for flavorful sauces and spice mixes.
You'll enjoy cooking alongside Abril in Sylvia Cooks Sonoran Style. She'll help fill your cocina with a love for good food - prepared Sonoran style - with passion and patience measured as carefully as the chiles.
