Treasure Trove of Sumptious South American Cuisine

This book was filled with anecdotes and anthropological points of view of the history and cultures that created these dishes. What I found very useful about the listings was that each recipe was put into its own country category, and sometimes even it's city of origin. It had many recipes that were not mainsteam, restaurant fair, but more the home-cooking of latin american people, which I like. I also liked the fact that they used chiles that are not found in the US, but gave you substitutions of chiles that are available there.
