← All cuisinesLatin American Sunday dinners
A deliberately broad heading covering the cooking of a dozen countries that share ingredients — maize, beans, chiles, citrus — and differ sharply in how they use them. The plans here keep the regional character rather than averaging it: an Argentine grill, a Peruvian ceviche and a Venezuelan arepa night are three different dinners, not three versions of one.
