World Famous Empanadas: Best Selling Empanada Recipes

I like Empanadas but never tried myself to make them. One of my colleague suggested me this book while discussing how amazingly she made Empanadas on thanksgiving. When I first got this book, was very curious whether it would be easier to prepare. I am very glad that I found this cookbook because I can also make delicious Empanadas now, Though I have tried only 8 recipes yet. All recipes are short but they look so delicious with every little details associated with it. This cookbook is written well with all clear instructions in a proper format which is very easy to follow. This cookbook contains large package of recipes that includes Beef, Chicken, Seafood, fish, Turkey, goat and lamb, fruit filling, vegetarian dessert and breakfast. It emphasizes all variety of unique fillings from easier to more complicated one. The Author also mentioned the specific dough to use for all recipes thus making it very easy and convenient with delicious taste for everyone.Overall, this cookbook is a collection of all hit recipes and surely a well-worth for a beginner like me.

At 25 pages, this is a short but "salivating" book to read. The book starts with some useful empanada dough recipes. I recommend using real lard in the 'Basic Empanada Dough" recipe instead of shortening. By that I mean non-hydrogenated lard. Your health will thank you for it as real lard is much better than shortening! Other than that my one main complaint with this book is the lack of specifics. "Cut the dough into small circles." I wish the author had been more specific and given an approximate diameter.After all the dough recipes, the sweet fillings come first. In some recipes it is left to the "chef" to decide which dough to you whilst others have the complete recipe (dough and filling).This book has a linked index which is a GREAT plus saving you having to scroll through the book looking for what you need. With 26 recipes it's a great for those who have never made empanadas. Once you have tried a few in this book, with the basic recipes included you'll be able to experiment with your own favorite fillings. To start with though how about:Cheesy Mushroom, Turkey and Gravy, Cheeseburger, Peachy Pie and more.I downloaded this book when it was on special. I was not required to write a review bu chose to do so. Thanks and happy cooking, Liz

I started loving Empanadas when I tried them at my friend's house. I tried looking for some good recipes, but every time I stumbled across something out of this world until I got my hands of this recipe collection to make different Empanadas. As soon as I got this book, I tried to follow one recipe, and for my astonishment I did it, maybe not perfect but very delicious sweet pineapple empanadas. The instruction were very easy to follow, and the format is just amazing! There are recipes for every preference, will it be meat, seafood, vegetables or fruits. Currently, I have tried only three recipes but that's just for now because this cookbook has a big variety of empanadas' recipes and I am up for a challenge to make them all. You don't need to be a professional to make empanadas, all you need is this collection and motivation to eat yummy food, but doesn't have that? Take your time to enjoy every recipe and astonish your friends with your Empanadas!

I love Empanadas, especially the caramel and apple ones my mom would make for Halloween parties. World Famous Empanadas: Best Selling Empanada Recipes features some old favorites and a bunch of new ones I had yet to discover. The Pumpkin and Cinnamon Empanadas were a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. Empanadas are mainly thought of as a desert dish, but this book features many great empanadas that are perfect for any meal or snack. With the leftover turkey and gravy, I am going to try the turkey and gravy empanadas as an alternative to the usual turkey sandwich that follows Thanksgiving. The cheesy mushroom empanada is a perfect appetizer or snack for the big bowl games coming up in the next few months. No matter if you are looking for a snack, a meal, or dessert this book is full of tasty options that are sure to please any taste bud.

These could be the best recipes in the world but 25 pages is not worth $19, I'm so sorry I bought this, it is a Christmas present and I'm too embarrassed it give it and will have to get a different book. I'll be looking at page could more carefully next time.

I just received the book and much to my dismay, it has no photos of recipes which I always count on. However, there are amazing recipes on here that I am sure going to try this week. I see that Amna is an independent publisher and just published this book this year -- I pray that many will purchase so that she would eventually add photos. SO, with that, go buy one. "tis the season for EMPANADAS. YAY!!!

with anything but the dough other recipes didn't sound good

Great dish for party and family quick snack.
