Alfajores with Paula Montenegro

Forget step by step instructions and perfectly measured teaspoons. Paula Montenegro is here to take us back to a time when recipes assumed you already knew how to cook.Paula is the voice behind the blog Vintage Kitchen Notes and is a lifelong home baker from Argentina. In this episode, we talk about how people used to cook, how recipes were written more like reminders than instructions, and what that says about cooking knowledge then versus now.She also shares the recipe for classic Argentinian alfajores, tender cornstarch cookies filled with dulce de leche, and why they are such a beloved treat. We also dig into how dulce de leche is made and why it's simpler than many people think.Paulas links:Vintage Kitchen NotesHomemade Dulce de LecheAlfajores RecipePaula on Instagram: @vintagekitchennotesPaul on Facebook: VintageKitchenNotesPaula on Pinterest: @vintagekitchennotesChristine's Links:COOKforTWO Live Cooking Demo on YouTubeStovetop Mac n CheeseBaked Macaroni and CheeseChicken Wing RecipesHow to cut whole wings at homeBaked frozen wingsAir fryer frozen wingsCrispy baked wingsDry rub wingsLemon pepper wingsBBQ wingsChicken wing marinadeBrine with baking powderDeep fried wingsDill pickle brined wingsEasy boneless breaded wingsSuper Bowl Recipes You'll Actually Make:Nacho DipEasiest GuacamoleFish Taco ColeslawClassic Pulled PorkTaco DipPulled Chicken SandwichesBroccoli Cheddar Pickle DipMac & Cheese CupsTurkey ChiliCountry Style RibsCocktail SauceAir Fryer Shishito Peppers Email Me!
