 Rating:  - Absolutely THE bestThis book is way more than just the very best cook book of Latin American food...it's a short history of South America. From the time I opened it, I could not stop reading until I got to the end of the South America background information. I am from Venezuela and loved ALL the recipes. The lack of pictures is not a big deal at all, because the words are totally descriptive. Now that I have this book, I don't see the need for any other. Rating: - Comprehensive cookbook for anyone new to South American cookingBefore picking up this cookbook I had little familiarity with South American cooking. I had rarely eaten it in a restaurant, let alone made it. This cookbook made it very approachable to start cooking South American food. It gives you all the details on ingredients, methods, and traditions you need to be successful. Best of all the recipes are well written and turn out impeccably. I picked up this cookbook for the arepa recipes which were fantastic. I made the Arepas Rellenas con Guiso de Carne (Stuffed Arepas from Venezuela) using the Masa de Arepa (Basic Arepa Dough) that is also in this cookbook. They were absolutely fantastic and definitely are on my 'to repeat' list. Among the other delicious recipes I have tried have been the Chucula/Masato (Ripe Plantain and Milk Drink) and Sopa de Zanahoria (Paraguyan Carrot and Cheese Soup). I also have even more recipes on my to try list like the Chicken Breasts with Cilantro Sauce, Humita en Cacerola, Potatoes with Spicy Cheese Sauce, the Hot Quinoa Drink and more. I appreciate that none of the recipes seem 'Americanized' and yet are sure to appeal to a broad range of preferences. The bottom line is that a fanastic cookbook that will help you turn out great home cooking-style South American meals even if you have never cooked anything from the region before. It's right up there with some of my favorite cookbooks on international cuisine like World Vegetarian Classics and Mexico One Plate At A Time. Highly recommended! Rating:  - Great book, - Lacking PhotosThis book is a really good voyage into the art of South American cooking. The text talking about traditions and the culture in general is very informative and interesting. I bought this product because I read that the book had pictures - I prefer cookbooks that show photos of the recipes - and this book has zero photos of the recipes. I was a little disappointed. Just wanted to make sure that no one else bought the book without knowing this fact. I have tired a few recipes and they are very good, it's just the lack of pictures that bothered me. Happy cooking! Rating: - The South American KitchenThis book was recommended by the owner of the Zuleta Hacienda in the Ecuadoran Andes. He said that is a true representation of South American food, the best he knows of. The recipes are easy to follow and so far, v. good. I'd highly recommend the book for foodies!
