Taste of... Americas: A food travel guide
()
About this ebook
Too often it happens to visit near or far places, without knowing exactly what are the local specialties, or even convince oneself that a country does not have a typical cuisine... The purpose of this guide is to complement and enhance your travel, with a gastronomic experience. With over 6000+ entries organized alphabetically, covering the cuisine of the North American states and Canada, Central, South American and Caribbean countries, it is designed for an easy and immediate reference, before and during the journey. It aims to give you tips, support, and encourage you to choose and try new dishes, but will also help you to decipher often incomprehensible menus. My book, the result of years of culinary-wandering, aims to stimulate your curiosity, seeking to give you an intuitive idea about local food, unknown ingredients (sometimes peculiar), preparations, or dishes that seem to some bizarre or weird because unusual.
Being the result of direct experience and hours of talking with professional and local chefs, the goal is not to be complete but to be a useful tool. I'm fully aware that, having to generalize the kitchen by country and considering the contamination that can emerge from regions, neighboring countries, and cultures, some items may be incomplete, partly incorrect, or even missing.

THE AUTHOR
Born the same day as Catherine of Aragon, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Jane Austen, by Italian father and Soviet mother, he lived his youth in Riccione, a small town on the Adriatic coast. Juri defines himself as a crossroad of cultures, in fact, he never identified with a nationality, considering himself a pure world citizen.
He traveled from the early years of his life living periods of time abroad, experiences that have further increased his openness towards the new and the different, and the ability to think outside the box.
He graduated Expert in Tourism and continued his studies with a Masters's Degree in Economics and Management. During and after his studies, he had a multitude of different jobs, mostly oriented towards tourism (his true passion, together with art and opera). Since 2007 he lives in Milano, working in the finance department of an Italian multinational company.
His passion for culture led him to found Kitabu, a publishing house specializing in the publication of books in electronic format, he wrote and translated books in various languages.
Despite the many commitments, however, he has never stopped traveling extensively the world, trying in every place to identify himself with the local population.
INTRODUCTION
The idea behind this book is to provide travel enthusiasts like me, a tool that allows them to live fully the travel experience. I think in fact that a trip should involve all the 5 senses, and what better place than behind a table in a little, hidden restaurant or facing a market counter, to use them all at the same time!
