Have you ever tried empanadas? Made cheesy arepas for your family? Or shared homemade, sprinkle-covered chocolate brigadeiros with your friends? Celebrity Chef Gaby Melian brings you into her kitchen to teach the best recipes she's learned from all over Latin America. From desayuno (breakfast) to cena (dinner), merienda (snacks) to postre (dessert), you'll be a pro in no time.
En sus marcos, listos… fuera! Ready, set, cook!
Kids ages 8 to 13 will learn the history and roots of Latin American cuisine through thoughtful stories and recipes developed by Gaby Melian in her first cookbook for kids. From Argentinian empanadas filled with chicken and olives to saucy, crunchy Chilaquiles Verdes, from Quesadillas Sincronizada (Mexican quesadillas with ham and cheese) to Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice), from Argentinian Panqueques with Dulce de Leche to Gaby's grandmother's own Chocotorta, this book will take young chefs on a culinary adventure through Latin America. Over 70 recipes developed and written by Gaby Melian have all been kid-tested and kid-approved by America's Test Kitchen Kids panel of over 15,000 at-home recipe testers to make this book a win for all young chefs.
