Editorial Reviews

"Dulce de leche is the happy essence of Argentina, the aura of every childhood. This book is its romantic flag." — Francis Mallmann

Sometimes you see a new cookbook and there can only be one reaction: “Oh, my God.” Dulce de Leche is just that kind of book. . . If you have a sweet tooth, or would like to develop one, then this is a book you will take to bed with you each night. It’s that comfy. And important.—Huffington Post
