The Peached Tortilla

The chef behind Austin’s acclaimed restaurant The Peached Tortilla shares 100 Asian street food recipes with a Southern and Southwestern twist!

At The Peach Tortilla, Eric Silverstein celebrates the food of his childhood in Japan, as well as the Southern and Southwestern cuisine he discovered in Texas. The 100 recipes here include many of his restaurant’s most-beloved dishes, like the Banh Mi Taco, JapaJam Burger, and Bacon Jam Fries, which gained rabid fandom when Silverstein first served them out of his legendary food truck.

Other crowd-pleasing favorites range from crispy Umami Fried Chicken and Korean Short Rib Pappardelle with Smoked Crème Fraîche to Asian Pear Miso Salad and Roasted Cauliflower with Nori Brown Butter. This is Asian fusion at its best, delivering soul-satisfying comfort food with a kick!

“The recipes are outrageously good. I'm talking post-it-on-your-Instagram-stories good.” —Austin Chronicle
