Author, Isabel Cruz, owns several restaurants on the West Coast, including the popular Dragonfly Cafe and Gardens in Ashland. She grew up in a Puerto Rican family living in a Los Angeles neighborhood full of immigrants from everywhere. She learned to cook Latin favorites with her family and Asian classics with her neighbors and friends. Her trademark blend of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Japanese and Thai cooking allowed her to cut some of the calories and fat often found in Latin food without ever sacrificing taste. If you've eaten at Dragonfly, here in Ashland, this book is a perfect remembrance of your visit. If you've never been there, you'll still enjoy this adventure in bold, nutritious, easy-to-prepare food. 224 pp. Extensive color photos. Hardcover.
