That being said, this book is great if you are looking for latin food with a twist.The recipes in the book are classic Ecuadorian dishes (and other latin countries as well) revised. For instance, I have never had a ceviche in Ecuador with avocado in it, but that is the recipe in the book.I have cooked a lot of dishes from this book already, and they all have a great flavor, HOWEVER, most of the recipes have the cooking time wrong. For instance, the pork for the Cubano sandwich takes twice as long to reach the desired temperature (from 45 to 90 minutes), and the beans from the mexican section take half as long to reach the desired consistency.I can forgive this mistakes for the strength this book has in terms of the flavors and cooking techniques.Some people have commented on the fact that this book is not for beginners, I agree. Especially since many of these traditional recipes take many hours of preparation, for instance the Ecuadorian Fig desert, takes about 3 days to be completed. But that is not Garces fault, it is actually the beauty of this book because you get to season something, let it rest for a day, and have an explosion of flavors!So enjoy and cheers to cooking ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Culinary postcard from travels around the world. *by C***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2013* Beautiful recipes that taste like home. I'm from Puerto Rico and the Cuban section is wonderful.My brother-in-law is from Spain and we enjoyed cooking together. The duck tapas were a hit. We also made the seafood Spanish noodles paella style. There's a Spanish import store and the owner was impressed by the book.My sister-in- law is from Ecuador when I gave her a copy we had fun cooking the pumpkin soup with crab. It was delicious.I've travelled to Peru and Mexico. These recipes are culinary postcards of my travels around the world. The meal suggestion have lead to a couple themed dinner parties that has wow'd my friends.I have been cooking from this book for close to 9months and it still is my first book to reference for special meals.I have owned a Caja China cooker for 4 years and the book shares the authentic cooking styes.I hope these meals can bring joy to others hearts. ### ⭐⭐⭐ First recipe a miss *by D***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2013* Yes the book is beautiful and nicely presented...the first recipe I tried the cubano did not meet expectations. First the cooking time, my roast was 2.5 pounds but I still can't imagine even a 2 pound roast cooking to 175 degrees in 45 min at 325 degrees. I read a blog where another person also questioned the time, she said her roast was still raw after 45 minutes. But aside from the cooking time, the roast was Very salty!! Yes I used kosher coarse salt and I did rinse it. There was way more marinade than needed for a 2 pound roast. I ended up scraping off most of it because it was so salty and overwhelmed the pork. I realize you are going to slice the pork, but the roast was not very appealing when it came out of the oven. This recipe did not inspire me to try more recipes from the book. I did not want to give the book even 3 stars but it is beautiful and it is only one recipe. If and when I try additional recipes I will update my review. I hope others will critique this book AFTER trying some of the recipes first. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7975466-the-latin-road-home-savoring-the-foods-of-ecuador-spain](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7975466-the-latin-road-home-savoring-the-foods-of-ecuador-spain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
