From the mountains of southern Chile and the vast plains of Argentina to the tropical Caribbean islands, this book offers a delicious overviev^ of Caribbean, Central and South American food and cooking.Traditional recipes are brought to life and stand alongside dishes that have been given an elegant modern twist.
The comprehensive reference section provides a fascinating insight into each country's history, its culinary influences and traditions.The regional ingredients are all described, from staples such as corn, chillies and plantains to exotic items like chayotes and cassava.
These regions are renowned for their delicious street food and snacks: start your meal with spicy beef empanadas, or serve Mexican tostadas with beans, chicken, guacamole and cheese as a satisfying lunch.The extensive coastlines mean that fish is an important ingredient, with the focus on simple, fresh dishes such as sea bass ceviche and crab and corn gumbo. Meat is also popular; particularly in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay where the finest cuts of beef or lamb are often barbecued and served with bread, salad and salsas. Desserts focus on aromatic fruits and coconut to cleanse the palate, while sweet snacks are mainly influenced by Spanish traditions and make great use of ingredients such as condensed milk, eggs and sugar Finally a section on drinks offers a choice of cooling punches and potent cocktails.
With over 150 inspiring step-by-step recipes shown in 700 gorgeous colour photographs, this book is a must for all adventurous cooks. Vissza
