1. Copy of Knack South American Cooking by Liz Caskey debuting in the US summer-fall 2010
Join Liz and her husband/photographer Francisco as they take you on a delectable journey through Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil with authentic recipes, gorgeous step-by-step photos, easy instructions, lots of tips, and standardized measurements to make recreating these local flavors at home a snap.

2. Private Culinary Tour of Santiago with Liz Caskey
That's right. Our signature day tour is up for grabs for two people. You'll get me to personally host you on a culinary extravaganza tour visiting Santiago's markets where vendors hawk the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, a plethora of meats, gleaming seafood, mounds of spices, and indigenous foodstuffs like pine nuts from the Araucaria tree or merkén (smoked chili). We'll shop to pick up the components of lunch and stop to pull up a stool with my friend Carmen, a talented old school cook. She'll indoctrinate us in age-old Chilean classics like sweet corn tamales, steaming stews, and avocado-laden sandwiches. After, we'll swing back to my brand new apartment Parque Forestal with panoramic views of the Fine Arts Museum, San Cristóbal hill, and the Andes. Sip some of my favorite bubbly while we prepare an exquisite three-course lunch inspired in authentic recipes and the fantastic fresh ingredients. A selection of premium wines complements each course. The total insider foodie experience Santiago (includes all food, wines, entrances, and transportation to/from within Santiago, excluding the airport).
