Description
xGaucho has been serving Argentine steak - widely considered the best in the world - for over 30 years. Through more than 80 recipes, this book brings together the restaurant's expertise for grilling with its passion for all things Argentina - from the gauchos who tend the cattle across Los Pampas, to the street-food vendors hawking choripán buns and empanadas to the chic urbanites who sip cocktails into the small hours in Buenos Aires' hippest bars.
Throughout the book, evocative stories of history, food and culture, punctuate the carefully curated recipes, brought together by Gaucho's Culinary Director, Anthony Ekizian to balance the influences of traditional and modern Argentina. The recipes draw on Gaucho restaurants' unrivalled reputation for exceptional steak cookery. The book starts with a chapter on Beef, including expert guidance on choosing the right steak cut, cooking it to perfection and serving it with sauces and sides that match each steak's particular characteristics. Chapters on Chicken and Fish follow, before the spirit of easygoing Argentine food is celebrated in Relax (street-food, including choripan, chivito, fugazzeta and croquetas), Sundays (Gaucho's fusion Sunday roast for family feasting), and Sweet (dulce de leche, churros, chocotorta...). The book concludes with Drinks - celebrating Argentina's wine from the vineyards that nestle in the foothills of the Andes to Gaucho's modern twists on favourite cocktails inspired by the bars in Buenos Aires. Illustrated with breath-taking photography by award winning food and travel photographer Sam A. Harris, shooting the places and food of the country itself, as well as photography of every recipe, the book brings to life Gaucho's fiery passion for Argentina and shows how the magic of this South American cultural mosaic can be reimagined with delicious results at home.Author: Anthony Ekizian

As Culinary Director, he honours the food, passion and culture of Argentina, while innovating and inspiring the menu and all those around him with his infectious energy and deep love for all things South America.
