Spirit of the Earth: Native Cooking from Latin America

Author: Beverly Cox

In Spirit of the Earth, award-winning authors Beverly Cox and Martin Jacobs celebrate the rich cuisine of native Latin American cultures through 125 authentic recipes-from the peppery ajis and scrumptious ceviches of Peru and Chile to the honeyed desserts of the Yucatán Peninsula and the sophisticated moles of Mexico. Traditional recipes for familiar items like tortillas, tamales, and guacamole are included, as well as such delicacies as Pompano in Garlic and Chile Sauce, Quinoa and Potato Gratin, and Spicy Peanut Chowder.

Full-color photographs styled with genuine Latin American artifacts enrich this substantial volume, and cultural essays by noted authorities Michael D. Coe and Jack Weatherford introduce each chapter. Recipes for appetizers and snacks, sauces and seasonings, side dishes, main courses, beverages, and desserts follow. A glossary, explanations of basic techniques, and a list of sources for authentic ingredients complete the book.

Author Biography: Beverly Cox has written 10 cookbooks, including Spirit of the Harvest, co-authored with Martin Jacobs (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), which won James Beard and IACP Awards.

Martin Jacobs is an award-winning food photographer who has photographed more than 40 cookbooks.
