The Art of Brazilian CookeryThe Art of Brazilian Cookery
Dolores Botafogo
This classic compendium on Brazilian cooking, now over 40 years old, is still one of the few authentic books on the cuisine of any South American country. Complete with a history of Brazil and information on Brazilian ingredients (and what to substitute if you can't find them) this book is filled with recipes. One favourite section is the many candy recipes, and there is also a chapter devoted to coffee. Unfortunately, there are no illustrations other than a hand-drawn map of the country. Softcover, 240 pp. $18.95.


Secrets of Columbian CookingSecrets of Columbian Cooking
Patricia McCausland-Gallo
There are few books that cover the cuisines of South America, so this title is really filling a void. Even better, it is very authentic, which does have a down side in that some of the ingredients may be hard to find. The recipes are filled with Colombian staples, like plantains, peppers, and tropical fruits such as papaya and guava. There is a short guide to the geography and history of the country as well as a glossary of unfamiliar items for the kitchen anthropologist. Hardcover, 251 pp. $37.50.

The variety of flavours and textures are sure to please. Beautiful colour photos. Hardcover, 135 pp, $24.99.
