The Americas

There is a saying, ‘Taste a country’s cuisine and you will taste its culture.’ Nowhere is this more apparent than in the countries of South America and the Caribbean. There, they reject the traditional, dairy-based sauces of France and Europe in favour of light, piquant salsas and relishes, highly flavoured with chillies, limes, herbs and spices. These ingredients not only add taste, texture and colour but also make a bold and exciting statement. They stimulate the eye while enlivening the palate. Furthermore, they are simple to prepare and extremely healthy.
