If you're tired of take-out, want to save some of that cash you spend by always eating out, and like to enjoy good food that you prepare without becoming a Martha Stewart wanna-be, then Isabel's Foodgirl Manifesto will soon become your own. This is not your mother's cookbook. Isabel Cruz (a.k.a. "Foodgril") fuses her Latin heritage with the Californian and Asian influences. That unique fusion allows her to create a tempting, tasty, healthful way of cooking and eating, which is simple and fun to prepare. Loaded with insights, shortcuts, and affordable ways to serve yourself and your friends, her recipes move you from soups to sopes (think thick tortillas)--while covering everything in-between. If you already love food and usually think about what to do for dinner during lunch, then you have the passion--you're just lacking the know-how.
