International Kitchen: Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, Vol. 2 Synopsis A colourful collection of 220 recipes from Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean, which brings out the best in traditional flavours while at the same time responding to the demands of the contemporary kitchen. FROM THE PUBLISHER Now Irwin Gelber, a leading food-service industry consultant and award-winning chef, presents another volume in his distinctive tour of the world's cuisines, this time devoted to the rich culinary tradition of Latin America. As with his first book in the series, which featured the cuisines of Europe, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and the former Soviet Union, this new volume spotlights the specialties of Mexico, Central and South America, and the islands of the Caribbean - from appetizers, soups, and bean and rice dishes to fish, poultry, and meat entrees and desserts. Each recipe reflects a specific national cuisine; enlarges readers' understanding of the historical development of a particular cuisine - including the influence of native American, European, African, and modern American strains; introduces the reader to food preparation methods from other cultures; calls for ingredients that are readily available in the United States; addresses the taste preferences of the fastest-growing segment of the American urban population - and are therefore highly marketable. Chefs who are always looking for new creative outlets will be inspired the range of exciting regional dishes presented in The International Kitchen.
