This gastronomic tour of Colombia is festive and full of delicious treats. Colombian cuisine has produced delicious dishes whose diversity of flavors, aromas and textures reflect its remarkable geographical, cultural and historical heterogeneity. These flavorful recipes will delight anyone's palate.  La gastronomía al interior de Colombia ha producido deliciosos platos en los que la variedad de sabores, olores, y texturas se convierten en el reflejo de su diversidad geográfica, cultural, e histórica. De esta manera, estas suculentas recetas le darán gusto a los paladares más variados. Adriana Lopez, "Criticas" Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. - Criticas Colombia is lucky to have all the climates of the world packed into it, which means an abundance of readily available ingredients. And the best way of remembering one's homeland or to experience the country for the first time is through blown-up images of its cuisine. In this stunning coffee-table book, Villegas's editors have put together first-class photographs and historical background to showcase Colombia's rich and unique gastronomy. The book serves best as a sensory meditation on how its diverse landscapes and natural resources have contributed to a wide array of cuisines. The dishes range from ajiaco, a thick potato soup inspired by the cool winds of the Andes, to bocadillo, naturally sweet guava paste (served with white cheese) from the green valleys of Santander. Although the recipes are presented in a brief column format that falls short of the step-by-step hand holding of other cookbooks, the book covers an extensive number of dishes. After a general introduction, it splits into mini-chapters, each highlighting specialties from eight regions. The selections span sumptuous seafood dishes from the Pacific and Caribbean coasts to delights from the meat-loving Antioquia region, where the arepa, the county's famous cornmeal cake treat, is most popular. Highly recommended for bookstores with high-end art/cookbooks and public libraries serving Colombian communities.
