Food and Drink in Argentina

Summary: An excellent guide to Buenos Aires
Review: Food and Drink in Argentina served me superbly during my first visit recently to Buenos Aires. While it is easy to eat and drink well in the city, the book's suggestions saved, at certain moments, much time (though the process of discovering for yourself the many bars and restaurants located on nearly every corner is equally important). You can find the unusual as well: when we were in need of buttons, the guide directed us to a button store (better than any Notions department in the US) in a part of town we normally would not have visited. In short, Foster's and Tripp's book is essential for helping you to discover the treasures of Argentina.

Summary: Quick Study
Review: If you want a quick study to eating in Argentina, this book is it. With a brief history and introduction to the regional cuisines, menu guides, help with where to shop, descriptions of a few classic restaurants, it will get you started. I found it a handy, portable, inexpensive guide when I spent a month in the country.
