Our daughter-in-law, Monica, is a fabulous cook. We discovered that soon after they moved to the US when she made delicious gnocchi, hand shaped pasta made from potatoes. Now she has started her own small business making and selling Argentine food.
Milanesa are well seasoned, breaded chicken cutlets. They are pounded thin, lightly breaded and cooked quickly. Monica bakes her own bread and makes a milanesa sandwich.
For dessert she makes a very typical cookie called alfajores. Here is a perfect description I found of them. 'Irresistible Argentinian Alfajores are a soft, sweet and crumbly shortbread sandwich cookie filled with dulce de leche', which is caramelized milk. It tastes a bit like caramel.
So fun to see Monica using her cooking skills while John hones his small business talents to promote and expand their reach.
During the summer they have been successfully selling once a month at their apartment clubhouse.
I am proud of them.
