### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enticing! Studry - and that's Important Because It's Gonna Get Used A LOT!
*by L***N on December 2, 2020*

This is designed to be an introduction to popular and interesting Latin American cuisine - and at that, it excels. Those few customer reviews that bemoan that some dishes are too obvious or Americanized (e.g. fahitas), misses the point. There are other more advanced or deep dive books for that. For instance, I have "Argentina Cooks!" which explores that cuisine by 10 regions. Here is what this Latin American cookbook DOES HAVE: 1) an expert and experienced author in Patricia Cartin, native of Costa Rica 2) RECIPE SUCCESS: I am an amateur home enthusiast with about 75 coobooks (none like this one) and have cooked over 500 different dishes (I keep a spreadsheet list). I can give a dish an "A" and still never make it again because there is so much frontier out there! I got two other new cookbooks at the same time and have already made 5 dishes out of Latim America (2 and 1 for those other two cookbooks). Jumping into 5 dishes in the first month says something right there. They were: 1) a Brazilian fish stew - solid, 2) cream of avocado soup, superior to my past attempt - will definitely make again, 3) a Peruvian tuna salad that reminded me a bit of a French Nicoise salad since it also had hard boiled eggs, onion and potatoes. Both very tasty, and because it was molded it has PRESENTATION quality. When this Covid-19 thing subsides, it will go to a friends potluck party, 4) cocount rice - great, will make again and 5) ham croquette: I especially like the cooking tecnique and imagine I will try it with shrimp. So 5 recipes: no losers, 4 will be done again (albeit one with shrimp instead) and one presentation quality! For me, that is an impressive score card! 3) BOOK LAYOUT: BTW: I am low vision and am even using special sight assist software to do this email. But my perspective should not be considered as only for my select minority. After all, who does not appreciate crisp black fonts? The INGREDIENTS and DIRECTIONS are in bold and practically always in the same place on the page. The directions are numbered and not wordy. The fonts are clean. Great! The TOC is outstanding. Recipes organized by country. They are listed in both native language and English in bold. Ellipsis dots to the specific page number. It is all laid out there perfectly.It is almost as if the layout artist understood that these items are supposed to convey information!!! In contrast, a Caribbean cookbook I got at the same time felt the need to be cool and used some weird sdriptive calligraphy in a limited TOC and some angular kitchy bambbo font. I had trouble with thesee, even with a strong magnifier. The Latin America cookbook even has thick semi-gloss great feeling sturdy pages to go along with the hardback. Built to last! I can be a tough judge, but this book smoothes my feathers and soothes the soul. Nothing but good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, great layout.
*by J***K on April 2, 2019*

Please note when you get this book there should be a piece of paper with editorial corrections don't lose it. I love the way the book is laid out by country, the recipes and instructions are clear and look amazing. I will be trying mole soon, I have been told already by a Mexican friend that I will fail, so I am taking that as a challenge. Looking forward to ceviche too. Very good book with many recipes I had not heard of before and it grades them from easy to advanced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibrant pictures and clear instructions
*by M***C on June 3, 2020*

The recipes I think are very user friendly with indicated difficulties, estimated time for completion, and an idealized photograph of the end product. My favorite aspect is that there is a range of Latin American countries represented and while maybe there is not a recipe from each country in Latin America there is a diverse array of recipes from countries in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. From the recipes I have used so far, I am very content with the book.
