拉丁美洲食譜

Finally, a cookbook that actually covers the full sweep from Mexico down to Tierra del Fuego. The black bean empanadas from the Caribbean section turned out perfectly on my first try, and the instructions for sourcing harder-to-find ingredients were spot-on.

I've cooked from a lot of Latin American cookbooks and this one actually covers the whole map, from the tropical coasts down to the icy islands at the foot of South America. The range alone makes it worth the shelf space.

The recipes from Mexico's tropical coasts are worth the price alone, but what surprised me is how well the icy South American dishes are handled too. The photography makes me want to cook every single page.
