Reviews

What happens when Tex-Mex finds a home in Southern California? In Josef Centeno's new cookbook, Ama, the results are sunny and delicious, from a vegan, cashew-based queso built on the flavors of charred onion, garlic and green chile, to a simple halved ruby red grapefruit, broiled with a topping of butter and piloncillo sugar, just like his auntie used to do. - New York Times, A Best Fall Cookbook of 2019
