From the mountains of Chile and the plains of Argentina to the tropical
Caribbean islands, this book offers an overview of Caribbean, and
Central and South American cuisine. Traditional recipes are brought to
life alongside modern classics and a comprehensive reference section
provides a fascinating insight into the history, culinary influences and
traditions of the different regions. A detailed listing of key
ingredients is also included, from staples such as corn, chillies and
plantains to exotics such as chayotes and cassava. Over 150 recipes from
street food and snacks to main courses, breads and drinks, include
Jamaican Fish Curry, The Gaucho Barbecue, Rice and Peas, and Tapioca
Pudding. Enjoy regional specialities such as Salt Fish and Ackee or
Chilean Squid Casserole; try twists on dishes such as Rabbit in Coconut
Milk or Colombian Chicken Hot-pot; and ring the changes with Cassava
with a Citrus Salsa or Peruvian Salad. Over 700 photographs, with clear
step-by-step instructions, help ensure perfect results, and there is
nutritional information for every recipe.
