The Pawlaks defy all conventions and live life on their own terms. ¡America! is just the same—a virtuoso fusion of documentary, picaresque road novel, and cookbook, fueled by a childlike curiosity about the world. It is a book of people and places, flavors and aromas. Like a good habanero, it gets you on your feet and calls you to action. However, I must warn you: once you open this wise, often funny, and always tasty recipe for America, you’ll be totally consumed

When I stepped into their restaurant, I quickly realized how unusual its concept was: both humanistic and journalistic. Its owners, Monika and Jan Pawlak, travel the world in search of inspiration for flavors unknown in our country. They return with photographs of the people and local dishes they’ve fallen in love with. On the walls you’ll find real residents of Vietnam, Morocco, Sicily, or Hong Kong—and you’ll eat the dishes those very people consider their most delicious. There’s a touch of magic in it. And they don’t stop at the restaurant. They publish stunning books born from their journeys. The first, I Like It: An Atlas with Recipes, introduces not only people and their cuisine, but also the places they call home. Their second book, ¡Ameryka!, is the result of nearly a year spent traveling across all the Americas. It’s a total book—one that brings together people who would never otherwise meet. A book that suggests there is, in fact, one shared culture in the world: the culture of hospitable tables. If Kapuściński considered himself a translator of cultures, then the Pawlaks are translators of cuisine.

I told the authors before they set off that the Americas are not only fascinating in their nature and monuments, but also warm and welcoming. And I was right. I’m delighted that the result of their journey—following a path somewhat mine, and especially that of Tony Halik—is this captivating book, full of adventure yet rich in reflection, written with both beauty and heart. I, too, read it with great pleasure and interest.
