Marcus Off Duty: The Recipes I Cook at Home

From the publisher: "Born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, and trained in European kitchens, Marcus Samuelsson is a world citizen turned American culinary icon—a five-time James Beard Award recipient, a winner of Top Chef Masters, and a judge on Chopped. He was even chosen to cook President Obama’s first state dinner. The recipes blend a rainbow of the flavors he has experienced in his travels: Ethiopian, Swedish, Mexican, Caribbean, Italian, and Southern soul. With these recipes, you too can enjoy his eclectic, casual food—including Dill-Spiced Salmon; Coconut-Lime Curried Chicken; Mac, Cheese, and Greens; Chocolate Pie Spiced with Indian Garam Masala; and for kids, Peanut Noodles with Slaw . . . and much more."
