Knack South American Cooking

South America may bring visions of the Andes, the Amazon, and Patagonia, but today it has also become better known for its remarkably varied cuisines that have taken cooks and gourmands well beyond Mexico. Knack South American Cooking, published in 2010 by Globe Pequot Press, is a visually sumptuous and informative, step-by-step cookbook to recreate the continent’s predominant authentic flavors in your home kitchen. Covering Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, it brings together 100 recipes, 250 variations, and 350 full-color photos. There’s everything from ceviche to creamy yucca prawns, grilled meats, empanadas, and classic dishes like Brazilian hearty black bean stew and sinfully yummy desserts like the dulce de leche laden Argentinean alfajores. The recipes pair perfectly with South American regional wines from Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay.
