Praise for The Chilean Kitchen

“I’m inspired to explore Chilean food—and culture—because of this book. Pilar Hernandez describes a country where language, food, and culture are interwoven with a strong emphasis on food grown in the region. Through this book, I was introduced to ingredients I’ve never cooked with and dishes I want to eat. There’s a strong sense of place—a true celebration of a country, a region, a culture.”

—James Beard Award-winning Chef Chris Shepherd, chef/owner, Underbelly Hospitality

“I couldn’t be more excited about this cookbook! I wasn’t very familiar with Chilean cuisine, but now want to try everything in this book!”

—Gina Homolka, New York Times bestselling author and Skinnytaste founder

“As global curiosity about Chile’s culinary history continues to grow, The Chilean Kitchen introduces home cooks to the beauty and bounty of the country’s most treasured recipes. Like a fulfilling sobremesa, this book celebrates the intersection of Chilean food and culture, offering both delicious bites and the rich contextual heritage that surrounds them.”

—Marie Elena Martinez, Cofounder of New Worlder

“The Chilean Kitchen is a ground-breaking cookbook detaching the immense continent of South America and giving light to Chile’s own, authentic cooking under the sun! Authors Pilar Hernandez and Eileen Smith created a beautiful travelogue, a thorough guide to regional Chilean dishes and ingredients and a great kitchen companion. I can’t wait to dig into these recipes and bring a piece of this beautiful country into my kitchen!”

—Leticia Moreinos Schwartz, Gourmand Award-winning author of The Brazilian Kitchen, My Rio de Janeiro, and Latin Superfoods

“Food is culture and culture shapes our identity both as a nation as well as a person. What The Chilean Kitchen does is taking the first step towards the recognition of Chile as a culinary benchmark.”

—Oscar Barrera Marengo, MD, chef/owner of RAM
