Summary: Unique and delicious recipes.
Comment: This has some excellent salsa recipes. I have tried several and have been very pleased with the results. The instructions are clear and there are color photographs of each of the dishes. However, if you're expecting recipes for traditional, tomato-based salsas, like you find in the stores and restaurants, you may be a little disappointed. Most of the book describes "salsas" that are fruit, meat, seafood, or vegetable based.
I do have a complaint about the book format. It is tall and not very wide, the cover is thick and the binding is very tight. It's not the kind of book that you can lay flat to refer to while you're preparing the dish. Luckily, most of the recipes are very short and simple so you won't be referring back to the book very often. One final nitpick - I wish they had included more information on the various ingredients. They provide some, but I had not heard of some of them and it would have been nice to read about them. Other salsa books I have read provide this information. Despite these negative comments, I can recommend this book to anyone looking for some unique recipes to spice up the meals and parties.

Summary: The title says it all!
Comment: This salsa cookbook by Coyote Cafe's Mark Miller contains 100 recipes. I've earmarked 21 that I want to try as soon as possible. There is a photograph for every recipe (browsing for recipes in this book is a VERY appetizing experience). The book devotes a chapter to each of the following types of salsas: tomato/tomatillo, chile, tropical, fruit, corn, bean, garden, nut/seeds/herbs, seafood and exotic salsas. Some of the "salsas" look more like side dishes or salads, but who cares what it's called as long as it tastes good. Some of the recipes call for some pretty exotic ingredients. Fortunately, Miller includes a mail order list in the appendix. Two especially nice features of this book are a 0 to 10 heat scale and serving suggestions for each recipe.
Miller's tomatillo salsa verde is the best I've ever tasted and it only takes 5 minutes to toss together in the blender. My four year-old ate an entire bowl of melon salsa thinking it was a fruit salad. I just bought 5 copies of this neat little cookbook to distribute among my relatives this Christmas. If you like salsa, try this book.
