Twenty top players share stories about life off the field and their favorite food—with 100+ full-color photos. America's favorite game has become a bastion for unforgettable recipes from all over the world—from classic dishes from all corners of the United States to spicy Latin American fare. Author Julie Loria recreates the down-home family recipes, favorite authentic meals, and top dishes from on-the-road eateries of twenty of today's top players. An official Major League Baseball publication, Diamond Dishes is not simply a cookbook, but rather a singular and scrumptious off-the-field look at ballplayers flexing their culinary muscles and discussing the roles of family, friends, and food in their lives. With exclusive, full-color photos of the players off the field and in the kitchen, and sixty recipes, this book is a treasure trove of sights, sounds, tastes and aromas that penetrate the hearts and souls of the ballplayers and their fans alike.
