In a country where cooking oil comes in plastic bags, sweet potatoes are purple and baking soda is a legally-controlled substance, it helps to have a guide! Frances Augusta Hogg provides one in this fun-to-read, fact-filled tour of Cuenca, Ecuador's markets and tiendas. She provides hints about high-altitude cooking and baking, as well as Spanish translations of the names of foods and cooking supplies. She'll tell you where to find the foods and brands the expat palate may be missing. And for the things that can't be found? She's got recipes!
"This book should become your 'go to' reference for any and all questions pertaining to Ecuadorean food, food preparation, and food shopping in and around
Cuenca. The author has taken 95 percent of the guesswork out of adjusting to a new culinary landscape. Buy it and use it! You will be glad you did."
