How does Carolyn Scott's 'The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen: Latin America' cookbook stand out in the plant-based culinary world?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. Love this question!

The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen: Latin America stands out in a few key ways:

• Authentic roots: I was born in Colombia and raised in Miami, so Latin flavor is in my DNA. I focus on dishes that really reflect each country’s traditions, not just “Latin-inspired” mashups.
• 100% plant-based but culturally true: I re-create classics from Colombia to Spain, Cuba to Venezuela and beyond—think comfort foods, street foods, and celebratory dishes—without animal products, while preserving the soul of the originals.
• Travel-meets-cooking: My work as a travel show host informs the book, so it reads like a culinary journey, not just a recipe collection.
• Accessibility for all levels: Whether you’re new to Latin cooking or a seasoned home chef, the recipes are approachable, with ingredients and techniques broken down clearly.

Is there a specific Latin American country or dish you’re most curious about in a plant-based version?
