About Latin American cooking
What defines Latin American cooking?
Latin American cooking spans Mexico to Patagonia and shares a foundation rather than a menu: corn and beans, a slow-cooked aromatic base of onion, garlic and pepper, chiles and citrus for brightness, and cilantro finished on top. Beyond that it diverges hard — Peruvian cooking is built on aji amarillo and lime-cured ceviche, Argentine on grilled beef and chimichurri, Colombian and Venezuelan on arepas, Cuban on mojo and sofrito. Our 2,005 Latin American recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Latin American pantry staples?
Dried black and pinto beans, long- and medium-grain rice, masa harina or precooked cornmeal for arepas, cumin, dried oregano, achiote, limes, garlic, onions, cilantro, plantains, canned tomatoes and a chile paste such as aji amarillo or chipotle in adobo.
