Daisy's Latin World: Daisy Martinez

Daisy Martinez was working off-camera as a prep-kitchen chef for Lidia Bastianich’s Italian-American Kitchen when she was "discovered" by the producer and given her own PBS series Daisy Cooks! last spring. Here, the unbelievably energetic Martinez shares seven great Latin recipes—;the kind she might make for her own four kids.

HEARTS OF PALM

Hearts of palm are the long, white inner stem of the cabbage palm tree. They tend to be firm and a bit briny, like artichoke hearts. Our favorite jarred brand is Bonito Palmito (about $3 for 14 ounces).
