From the Author:

From the introduction:
'While cookery can never be an exact science, the culinary habit of this diverse region is more inexact than most.It has no secrets - unless it be a light hand and an open heart. What it does have, and in abundance, is soul. Beyond this, no special equipment is required. Bring your favourite pan, the pot of your choice and your sharpest knife. The reward, as I hope you'll discover for yourself, is a culinary tradition which is simple yet sophisticated, robust but subtle, which reflects the beauty of the land, the sunny nature of the people and the profligacy of a fertile earth. This - as the Incas explained to their disbelieving conquerors - is a treasure far more valuable than gold, the gift of the gods, the food of the sun.'
