Camino



This is Camino is more a book about a restaurant than a book of recipes. I haven't visited Camino, so I wasn't sure what kind of food they prepare or what the recipes would be. I honestly could not find one recipe that I would prepare at home. The premise of Camino is that they head to the farmers' market, find seasonal, local foods, and prepare new and exciting menus everyday. I don't know what prompted them to write a cookbook when it is clear that there are no recipes used in the restaurant and things change every day. There were many cooking styles and ingredients that are not readily available, such as summer savory, fresh turmeric, or anise hyssop. I love reading cookbooks and watch a lot of cooking shows, but there were so many ingredients in this book that I had never heard of. If you like the restaurant Camino, you would probably like this book. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books, but the opinions are my own.
