Hi Christina,
All looked like good books.
I enjoyed South American fare while spending a few weeks in Peru. Hearty, and really sticks to your ribs aka, fills you up.
I was also fascinated to see so many Chinese food places down there, or Chifa spots. Really neat. As I love Chinese food like most people on earth seem to enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing these delicious reads.
