20 recipes
Latin American cooking is far more diverse than most people realize. Beyond the well-known Mexican dishes, the continent offers Peruvian ceviche and aji-based sauces, Colombian bandeja paisa, Argentinian asado and chimichurri, Cuban slow-roasted pork, and Caribbean spice-forward stews. The common threads are bold seasoning, slow-cooked meats, fresh citrus, and a deep respect for corn, beans, and plantains as foundational ingredients.
