Tasting Chile is a comprehensive guide to the culinary treasures of this South American nation. More than 2,500 miles of coastline yield a diverse selection of fish preparations. Fertile valleys produce a wide range of fruits and vegetables and have spawned a booming wine industry. This book includes simple, everyday recipes, such as roast chicken and beef stew, as well as more complex and exotic fare, including blood sausage, fried frogs legs, and rhubarb mousse. This cookbook includes more than 140 easy-to-follow recipes; a detailed introduction to Chilean cuisine and culture, including essential ingredients; a chapter on Chilean wines; and a Spanish-English glossary of Chilean fish and shellfish.
