description: South American cuisine has developed from a great many influences, including the Native Americans, the African slaves and the European colonizers - all of which make for a unique flavour and style. This cookbook contains Latin American recipes which have been revised where appropriate for the modern palate. It features hundreds of ideas that are full of Latin flavour, but don't require the user to learn complicated new methods of cooking, or to go in search of exotic ingredients or specialist equipment. Most of the foods used are well known to the average household and can be found in large supermarkets. All the recipes can be used by complete beginners or by competent cooks, and alongside each are explanatory notes and helpful tips for making a delicious dish. Appropriate side dishes or vegetables are suggested, but the final combination is left to the cook, enabling them to develop personal tastes and preferences, and to mix the recipes with more familiar dishes.
