The internet is the perfect place to seek out unusual recipes, order hard-to-find ingredients, and research cuisines. The global marketplace has made products from other countries increasingly available. I have listed some of my favorites sites here - ones that I keep bookmarked and return to again and again. Some of these sites are recipe archives, some are online food stores, and some are great blogs about South American food.
