Please Wait to be Tasted: The Lil' Deb's Oasis Cookbook is the first book by the James Beard Award-nominated Hudson-based restaurant and community space, Lil’ Deb’s Oasis. The book’s design is based around its central premise, celebrating the sensual pleasures and communal joy of food.

In addition to tropical comfort recipes, Please Wait to Be Tasted shares the knowledge and love that go into making memorable meals at Lil' Deb's Oasis: essays on the restaurant's beginnings and the chefs' navigation of the colonial histories entangled in their recipes' origins; tips on techniques, tools, and pantry; and lessons on how to eat well together.
