The El Paso Chile Company Rum & Tiki Cookbook [Hardcover]

W. P. Kerr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 5, 2000

Rum is hot. Rum is cool. Rum can be sipped, savored, and cooked in ways limited only by your imagination. Rum has an island flavor on its own over ice with a wedge of lime, or it can be something more, as it is in these sophisticated recipes by W. Park Kerr, author of "The El Paso Chile Company Margarita Cookbook."

Rumba over to the bar and break out your cocktail shaker and hula-girl glasses. Whether you are looking for a classic rum drink like a pina colada or a mai tai or a new concoction such as a Banana Monkey or a Blue Lagoon, The El Paso Chile Company Rum & Tiki Cookbook offers the ultimate rum recipes in these tropically colorful pages. Want to add some punch to the rest of your party? Recipes include Luau Baby Back Ribs, Grilled Coconut-Rum Shrimp with Curried Peanut Dipping Sauce, and other spiked suggestions for marinades, sauces, and main dishes. And be sure to save room for dessert. There's Island Spice Flan and a Pineapple and Bananas Foster. Not sure which type of rum--light, gold, dark, or beyond--to use? It's all explained in one user-friendly section.

So if you don't want your next party to end up ho-hum, try a little rum.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Kerr's The El Paso Chile Company Margarita Cookbook (1999) offered recipes for all sorts of variations on that ever-popular drink; this year, he's turned to pi$a coladas, mai tais, and other exotic rum drinks, with a few recipes for rum-flavored appetizers, main course, and desserts thrown in for good measure. "Rum 101" lessons provide suggestions for variations, information on ingredients, and esoterica, and there are color photos throughout. For any beverage collection.

This is a super addition to not only your drink recipe library, but your cookbook collection as well! I just made the "Baby Back Ribs with Guava Glaze" - it's great! We cooked up the glaze while sipping the recipe for an improved Cuba Libre. This little book is well worth the price; pick it up, cook with it and prepare to dazzle your guests (or just treat yourself).

This review is from: The El Paso Chile Company Rum & Tiki Cookbook (Hardcover)

Not a big book, but one that packs a punch! (pun intended)
The recipe for pork tenderloin is probably the best anywhere. My husband has made it for friends and a Christmas Eve dinner. It got rave reviews. The flan with marinated (in rum) fruit is an amazing dessert. The mojito recipe works like a charm. You can do a complete dinner with this book, or just pick and choose to complement other menus you're planning. What else can I say except mmmmm ...

This is a great recipe book for tiki drinks you'll love in any time of the year. ;-) I wished it had listed more food recipes than drinks, but they are still all very tasty. I suggest getting this book if you are big on theme parties and need some amazing recipes to wow your guests. Yum yum!
