Summary: The South American Kitchen
Comment: This book was recommended by the owner of the Zuleta Hacienda in the Ecuadoran Andes. He said that is a true representation of South American food, the best he knows of.
The recipes are easy to follow and so far, v. good. I'd highly recommend the book for foodies!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Delicious, Exciting and Fantastic
Comment: The South American Table contains authentic flavorful recipes from South America.
Maria Baez Kijac is a food writer, cooking instructor and culinary historian. She was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador and spent 15 years researching this book.
Coming from a native of South American and currently living in the United States, Baez Kijac knows what we are missing in our lives - genuine South American foods! Having lived in South America myself, I see that South American food is gaining in popularity but is still under-recognized. This cookbook helps people enjoy a variety of dishes without focusing too greatly on one area of the continent.
Her recipes are easy-to-follow and extremely flavorful! I was happy to see some of my favorites in here too!
If you enjoyed "The Book of Latin American Cooking" by Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz, then you will love "The South American Table" by Maria Baez Kijac!

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Comment: I just bought this book today and have yet to cook from it (hence holding off on the 5th star) but this is what I was looking for in a South American cookbook. While others may give a brief intro about a dish, Ms. Kijac gives several pages of history and background that really helps one understand this cuisine. The book is so well-researched that one can see it was truly a labor of love. The food glossary is a big bonus! My only criticism is that each recipe is not associated with its country of origin.

Summary: Great Cookbook
Comment: My wife, who studies many cookbooks, said that it was a wonderful book with many delicious recipes. She made me a terrific dish from book and asked me to get her a copy as a present.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: I recently took this book out on loan from my local libary, but love it so much, I'm going to buy a copy for myself. I am half-Colombian and grew up in New York where South American cuisine, particularly Colombian, was plentiful (from homecooked, family meals to countless restaurants in Queens). I've been living in California for ten years and often long for an authentic sancocho, platanos, arepas, empanadas, aji piques, etc, but have never had any luck. Now, with these recipes and the wonderfully informative glossary of South American ingredients - and where to get them - I can make the meals I love so much myself and discover so many others. I especially enjoyed the brief history of the South American cuisine.
