The Peached Tortilla: Modern Asian Comfort Food From Tokyo to Texas

by Eric Silverstein

Overview

Chef Eric Silverstein, the creative mind behind The Peached Tortilla, brings you 100 mouthwatering Asian-fusion recipes packed with flavor and passion. In 2010, Eric made a bold move—leaving his six-figure legal career behind to chase his culinary dream. He launched a food truck in Austin, Texas, and a burgeoning local fan base helped turn The Peached Tortilla into a thriving, award-winning restaurant. Now with multiple brick-and-mortar locations, a full-service catering company, and an event space, Eric’s dream is still cooking—and it’s better than ever. Eric’s dishes are inspired by his childhood in Japan, cooking at the side of his Chinese mother, and love for Southern and Southwestern flavors. His recipes combine cultures as effortlessly as he blends ingredients. The cookbook features recipes (and accompanying delectable photos) for The Peached Tortilla’s most-beloved dishes, like the Banh Mi Taco, JapaJam Burger, and Bacon Jam Fries, which have a cult following from Eric’s food truck days. Other Asian-fusion fan favorites include the #60 Fried Rice, Kimchi Arancini Balls, Korean Short Rib Pappardelle with Smoked Crème Fraîche, and Roasted Cauliflower with Nori Brown Butter. These recipes represent Eric’s passion, pride, and the very best of modern Asian comfort food, infused with a Southern twist and soul-satisfying flavor.
