|  "Uruguayan foods"
Uruguay isn't a land that is a famous for its culinary delights (though they are well know for their amazing beef). They seem to eat a lot of dough based products...pizza, empanadas, bread, biszcochos (pastries) etc.Cooking at home can save you a lot of money as a wide selection of fresh produce is available at the street markets, and you'll probably find a collection of new fruits and vegetables that you're not familiar with. Personally I've developed a thing for boniatos (sweet potatoes) because we don't really have them in Ireland so I make carmelised onion, sweet potatoes and carrot mash regularly, yum! Here is a cooking blog from a woman who is trying out recipes from her childhood in Uruguay, her recipes seem pretty easy so I'm sure you could try a few. |
| "Get the Crandon Institute recipe book"
Home made food in Uruguay is not too fancy, but there are lots of delicious stuff to try, and most recipes are too hard, even for an inexperienced cook, to deal with.The Crandon Institute manual is the Bible of food recipes here. You should by all means try to buy a copy (you'll have no trouble finding it at most book stores). It has tons of recipes covering the whole spectrum from meat to cakes, from fish and poultry to pasta and candy. Most of them are reasonable simple, and generously illustrated with step by step photographs. In the meantime, you can visit the Instituto Crandon website (in Spanish) for some ideas. I'm sure Elaine will want to try the Ñoquis de boniato" (sweet potato gnocchi). |
