This is THE book to get on Chilean cuisine,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chilean Kitchen: Authentic, Homestyle Foods, Regional Wines and Culinary Traditions of Chile (Paperback)
I preordered this a few months ago, while looking for books on Chilean cooking. It was a very pleasant surprise when the book arrived this week.I cannot over emphasize how good this book is! While my wife brought several cookbooks from her native Chile, we've frequently been challenged to find many ingredients here in the US. With this book I can now prepare all of my Chilean favorites. THANK YOU to Ruth Van Waerebeek for this stellar work! To be clear: this is far more than just a book full of recipes. Wonderfully organized and illustrated, each recipe includes engaging stories about the culture and culinary traditions of Chile. Special sections provide great detail on the unique ingredients and cooking techniques of Chile, and let us norteamericanos know where to find these foods (or close substitutions) in our local markets. This book is a pleasure to read; the recipes are well detailed and easy to follow (with ingredient names in English and US measures); full of compelling stories. This is the only cookbook that I've ever read cover to cover. Ruth Van Waerebeek-Gonzalez beautifully combines her affection and passion for Chile with her talents as a top-rate chef and foods author to deliver the definitive English text on Chilean cuisine. I plan to buy several more copies to share with my friends and family, to further introduce them to delicious Chilean cooking. I have also read _Three Generations of Chilean Cuisine_ by Mirtha Umana-Murray. While this is a good book, _The Chilean Kitchen_ is by far the better work. VIVA CHILE!

Chilean Cuisine is more than sea bass,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chilean Kitchen: Authentic, Homestyle Foods, Regional Wines and Culinary Traditions of Chile (Paperback)
Chilean Kitchen: Authentic, homestyle foods, regional wines, and culinary traditions of ChileBy Ruth Van Waerbeek-Gonzalez Reviewed by Liz Waters Copyright 1999, All Rights Reserved Touted as the first comprehensive, contemporary cookbook of Chilean cuisines, this book proves that there is a lot more to Chilean cuisine that sea bass. Like other South American cuisines, Chile's is complex as it is a fusion of European, American and native American cuisines, utilizing native ingredients and the traditions of the many cultures whose explorers visited this land that lies between the Andes mountain range and the Pacific Ocean. Tastes from the mountains and the seacoasts merge in many unique and exciting dishes. The book also recommends exquisite Chilean wines to accompany the meals presented in it. Ms. Waerbeek-Gonzales has definitely opened some culinary doors with this exciting new book.

The only real Chilean food cook book you'll ever need.,
This review is from: The Chilean Kitchen: Authentic, Homestyle Foods, Regional Wines and Culinary Traditions of Chile (Paperback)
I first came across this great cookery book at a Chilean friend's house and immediately liked the sound of it. I finally managed to secure a copy in Paperback from Amazon. The author clearly has a vast knowledge of the Chilean Cuisine and therefore features so many typial recipes I myself know from my Mother's cooking. I was brought up in Chile and love to prepare our favourite dishes in my house. I introduced my English/Irish husband to Chilean Food when we got married and he often chooses our menu with dishes like Pastel de Choclo or Empanadas. Our latest addition to our Chilean menu is the Torta Mil Hojas,which unfortunately is not in the Chilean Kitchen cookbook. I do have the recipe for it and can supply this if anyone wants it. It is a bit of work but well worth the trouble. I can highly recommend this cook book to anyone who is keen to learn about Chilean food. Especially since every chapter comes with a good explanation of the region and its typical food, as well as lovely short stories about the area. I'm so glad I found my copy, thank you so much for producing it, Ruth Van Waerebeek-Gonzalez! But in the wine section, surely you meant "The Principal Wine Regions" of Chile? Joanna
