Latin & Caribbean Cuisine
Latin American and Caribbean cuisine features some of the most diverse, soulful, and flavorful foods in the world. From the fiery chiles and fresh tamales of Mexico to Puerto Rico's plantain soup and Honduras' fish stew to the beef and potato empanadas of Argentina---Latin foods bring together the rich flavors and textures of Spanish, African, Asian, and Native Latin American influences.
The common ground of Latin cooking is plant foods: fresh vegetables, legumes, nuts, and fruits. Seafood, poultry, and meat play a large role as well. In short, Latin food is as varied as the country in which it's cooked. Explore these recipes and enjoy!
