The Author

Dr Pat Mosto is a Professor and Dean Emeritus from Rider University in Lawrence Township; New Jersey in the U.S. her area of expertise is around Environmental Sciences and Ecology. Dr Mosto presently lives in Reston a community town in Virginia close to Washington DC. She was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina from Italian abstraction, hence a hint at the origin of her recipes which were handed down to her from her mother when she emigrated to the USA. The Spanish influence of course stems from Argentina a beautiful country in South America, whose exquisite culinary delights are also at the heart of this book, so let’s turn to the book.

The Book

The book is a collection of eleven Argentine recipes, the first half of the book is in English and the second part in Spanish: naturally so, with Argentina’s native tongue being Spanish. Each recipe covers off the history behind its making, along with how to prepare and cook it, plus the required ingredients. This is a great book for grandparents and parents alike to have fun in the kitchen teaching grandchildren and children how to enjoy good healthy meals. Most of us love messing around in the kitchen creating delicious nosh, even when it all goes pear shape, but that’s the fun of it, even the world’s great chefs mess up at times. The Proverb, “too many cooks spoil the broth,” springs to mind. But let’s have fun learning how to create and cook delicious meals with the young ones. The photos of how the dishes should turn out are very good.

What recipes can we expect to see in this book, well let’s have a look:

Empanadas
Milanesas
Matambre, Mushroom soup and Potato Salad

Mini-Pizzas, Trout with Ham, and Ambrosia Salad
