The South American Table: paperback
by Maria Baez Kijac

The Flavor and Soul of Authentic Home Cooking from Patagonia to Rio de Janeiro, with 450 Recipes

South American cooking represents a vast mix of history and cultures, melding the New World bounty of tomatoes, potatoes, corn, beans, and chiles and the cooking traditions of its indigenous peoples with the influences and culinary heritage of Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors, African slaves, and immigrants from Italy, Germany, China, and elsewhere. In The South American Table, Maria Baez Kijac presents us with the first comprehensive survey of this richly varied culinary tradition in more than a decade.

This landmark work contains 450 authentic recipes from 10 countries for everything from the tamales, ceviches, and empanadas that are popular across the continent to the specialties that define individual cuisines, such as Brazil's feijoada, the barbecue of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, and the signature seafood dishes of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. It also has thorough chapters on basic preparations and techniques, a glossary, and a resource guide to help you prepare and enjoy all these wonderful foods in your own home.

"...there's a distinct pleasure in finding a book that helps you bone up on geography and history through recipes. And there's something even more satisfying about a cookbook written with so much passion. "
--Chicago Tribune
