You have a lovely, interesting blog and I’m glad I learned of it.

Don’t tell me that…otherwise I will have a freezerful of nothing but alfajores. My family loved these. My mum even took some to my grandmother, which is an incredible thing, as you only taking baking to her if you believe that it will be above all criticism as she is an amazing baker! The blog is great too, really enjoying reading about your take on the culture of food and wine.

Thanks so much for the shout out and posting about this. Glad you love the recipe too. You know, fyi, you can freeze these on wax paper for up to 3-4 months. They don’t take long to come to room temp and the temptation to “whack” them in few sittings is lessened–or so my husband (the photographer) swears. 🙂

Alfajores. « The Apocalypse Bakery…because the end is pie. https://lizcaskey.com/culinary/knack-south-american-cooking-alfajores-caramel-filled-cookies/#comment-19917 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 12:37:18 +0000 http://eatwineblog.com/?p=1696#comment-19917 […] S. suggested that I baked something Chilean is celebration. Possibly as comfort food to aid with the tear-jerking news marathon. I concurred, but soon realised that I know nothing about what might even constitute Chilean baking. Google to the rescue….with the information that alfajores are a sweet, caramel filled cookie consumed across South America. I then came across Liz Caskey’s lovely Eat Wine blog, with an honest, informative article about Chilean Cuisine, and Faith, Hope and Chilean Pride, a post all about the beautiful resiliency of Chilie. As well as a tasty looking alfajores recipe. […]
