The Book of Latin American CookingWhen The Book of Latin American Cooking was first published in 1969, the foods of the region were not well known by American and British cooks. The book was among the first to spark enthusiasm for the food of Latin America and the Caribbean. Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz’s scholarly approach to the Latin American cooking served as a prototype for many subsequent cookbooks on the subject, and it remains the definitive text to this day. The current popularity for all foods Latin American led Grub Street to reissue the book, and you can read an excerpt from the introduction on the EYB blog.

We’re delighted to offer 5 copies of The Book of Latin American Cooking to EYB Members worldwide. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

Which Latin American cuisine are you most interested in learning about?

Please note that you must be signed into the Rafflecopter contest before posting the comment or your entry won’t be counted. If you are not already a Member, you can join at no cost. The contest ends March 22, 2016.

    All, Peru as it has a reputation as extremely diverse.

  • trudys_person  on  March 15, 2016

    Colombia, because I have a friend from there …

  • sallyc06  on  March 18, 2016

    Mexican seems good

  • Cubangirl  on  March 20, 2016

    I always welcome good authentic Cuban Cookbooks. Authentic means no cilantro, jalapenos or other chiles, etc. I am not sure how popular that would be since it would have to feature pressure cooking recipes, deep fat fried recipes, heavy soups or potages, desserts, fresh fruits and very few veggies. Most ingredients needed for Cuban foods are readily available nowadays, so that should not be a problem.
    If not Cuban, I would welcome any latin cuisine except for Mexican.

  • DimensionAEB  on  March 21, 2016

    Peruvian would be interesting.

  • TRACYSB  on  March 21, 2016

    Would love to learn how to make MOLE properly. There are so many steps to it, but it's delicious. 🙂 Also all our family love chicken so new recipes to make with chicken would be good. It's the only meat we all agree on.

  • worstkeptsecret  on  March 22, 2016

    What kind of desserts there are 🙂

  • rivergait  on  March 22, 2016

    Chilean, because Chile some geographically mimics California with its agricultural products

Seen anything interesting? Let us know & we'll share it!
