Argentine cuisine is one of the world's best-kept culinary secrets! It is decidedly distinct from other Latin American cooking. This cookbook highlights the dishes of nine different regions, including signature recipes from Five Star Argentine chefs, along with the best of collections from the author and other talented home chefs. Inside are sophisticated culinary offerings like: Pavita Relleno a la Criolla (Roast Turkey with Persimmon; Sausage and Jalapeno Stuffing); and Gaspado de Cazador (Game Stew with Wild Rabbit, Partridges, Quail and Gin) as well as home-style favorites like Gazpacho de Mesopotamia (Raw Vegetables in Chicken Broth and Fresh Lime Juice) and Empanadas Santafesina (Baked Turnovers with Beef Tenderloin, Chicken, Sausage and Prunes). The 190 easy-to-follow recipes are all adapted for the North American kitchen, and a helpful section on ingredients and techniques ensures that even novice cooks can produce spectacular results. The author's Introduction and commentaries throughout the book offer insight into Argentina's landscape, history, traditions and culture.

"An excellent guide to a little-covered country."
