Central and South America

Lying just below Mexico and spanning south across the equator for nearly 5,000 miles down to the tip of Antarctica, Central and South America make up the fourth largest land mass on the planet. Lush rainforests, high desert plateaus, fertile grasslands, rolling plains, and a list of superlatives that includes the world’s highest waterfall, largest river, and longest mountain range (the Andes) make this continent and its connecting Isthmus of Panama a geological superstar.This area is where many of our favorite foods originated, first cultivated in the pre-Columbian era by Peru’s sophisticated Quechua, or Inca civilization, and Mexico’s Mayan Indians. The list is long and colorful, including bananas, chocolate, corn, potatoes, sweet peppers, chile peppers, quinoa, cassava, vanilla, and tomatoes.

Cream of Mango Soup

Reviewed on May 13, 2008 by CRISTITA
YUM YUM YUM!!!! What a delicious soup!, very fresh and tasty, the only change I made was that I added 1 Tbsp of hot sauce in the blender, salt and a bit of ginger and I served it with a swirl of Tabasco sauce, fresh chopped strawberries 3 mint leafes and fresh pepper, so not only was delicious but looked awsome!, thanks for a great recipe!

Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed on May 12, 2008 by Nandabear
I would have to agree with other reviewers who have said that the taste was excellent but it turned out crumbly. The house did smell wonderful as it was baking and we were all drooling. LOL! I used 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of dark brown sugar. I think I may try decreasing the baking powder just a tad and the ground cloves maybe. It is a great recipe. It just need some minor adjustments.
