Do you find yourself lost with the food names in Carrefour, Disco, or Jumbo? Can't figure out what the heck apretujar means in the recipe you're reading? Or are you just a foodie who wants to show off your new vocabulary of Argentinian food to your friends. If any of these apply to you then you'll want to check out Food and Drink in Argentina written by Dereck Foster & Richard Tripp. It's an extensive guide to the cuisine of Argentina, as well as an a-z guide to Argentine foods.
But suppose you just can't wait for the book. You just have to get your hands on a dictionary...NOW...then you need to fire up the computer and take a look at Dan Perlman's blog Salt Shaker. He's compiled an excellent extensive Spanish-English food dictionary. It's a great reference that will surely help you navigate the food isles or your cookbooks, and of course, have all your friends thinking you just got back from a trip to Argentina.
Buen provecho!
Well thank you for the plug!
It's nice to know someone actually looks at my site.
Now, I've been looking for a flaky, unstable orchid arranger...
