Argentina Quick Cuisine Guide

---

Argentinian cuisine is about much more than just food—it’s a celebration of tradition, family, and regional identity. From the asado and empanadas to mate, alfajores, and dulce de leche, every dish tells a story. This guide, produced by the Embassy of the Argentine Republic in Canada, offers a fresh and engaging introduction to our culinary heritage. You can download the PDF version right from this page.
