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.
