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),
your young chef will be a pro in no time.
¡En sus marcas, listos... fuera! Ready, set, cook!
Have you ever tried empanadas? Made cheesy arepas for your family? Or
shared homemade, sprinkle-covered chocolate brigadeiros with your
friends? Travel the world of Latin America with 70 recipes developed and
written by Gaby Melian--all kid-tested and kid-approved by America's
Test Kitchen Kids' panel of over 15,000 at-home kid recipe testers. A
Spanish glossary, fun personal stories, and a peek into Gaby's own
kitchen make this book a delicious win for all young chefs and their
families! Kids can cook from breakfast to dessert with recipes such
as:
Arepas con Queso: These Colombian-style round corn cakes are cooked
on the stovetop, then stuffed with gouda cheese that melts and gets
gooey after a few minutes in the oven.
Ensalada de Frutas: This fruit salad is the solution to hot summer
days. Add orange juice, water, and ice to the fruit, stir gently to
combine, and serve with plenty of juice spooned on top of each
serving--the juicier the better!
Panqueques con Dulce de Leche: A distant cousin to French crepes,
these panqueques are just as delicious, and a bit more forgiving--make
them as thick or as thin as you like, with a lot of browning. After
cooking, they're filled with luscious, sweet dulce de leche.
Empanadas de Pollo: Empanadas are a delicious labor of love. To make
them simpler to prepare, this version uses store-bought
hojaldradas-style empanada dough rounds and rotisserie chicken.
