Baco by Josef Centeno

130 recipes that redefine the way we think about flavor. Visually stunning and conceptually fresh, this is the cookbook of the season from Josef Centeno, the chef credited with capturing the myriad tastes of Los Angeles on the plate. Recipes span from simple to show stopping, exploring sauces, soups, mains, salads, and desserts, too. More than 130 vivid photographs convey the beauty and excitement of Chef Centeno's extraordinary cooking. Josef Centeno is the chef and owner of Bâco Mercat, Bar Amá, Orsa & Winston, Ledlow, and P.Y.T. In Bäco, he draws on his multicultural heritage, formal training in top-notch restaurants such as Manresa and Daniel, a lifelong obsession with cookbooks, and his insatiable curiosity. Centeno's cooking layers textures and explores how spices and sauces can be used to transform the most basic vegetables.

"Los Angeles chef Josef Centeno’s new book is the product of a career in restaurants, with bountiful recipes that reflect contemporary LA" Foodism

Josef Centeno is the chef-owner of four acclaimed restaurants in downtown Los Angeles: Bäco Mercat, Bar Amá, Orsa & Winston and Ledlow. He grew up in San Antonio and attended the University of Texas in Austin before deciding to pursue a chef's career and enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Josef's tasting menus at a restaurant called Opus in Koreatown were famously groundbreaking: You could order as many courses as you wanted for $10 each. And when he opened Lazy Ox in Little Tokyo, it was the first restaurant that shifted critical attention to downtown Los Angeles. By the time Bäco Mercat opened, Josef had paved the way for chefs and restaurateurs who have flocked to downtown Los Angeles.
