Best books to learn Argentine cooking, in order
Argentine food is built around live fire, and reading in order keeps you from either burning dinner or underestimating the whole culture around the asado. Start with fire, cuts, and grill management, move into the empanadas, chimichurri, and sides that round out the table, then into the slower parrilla arts and regional dishes, so you learn to command the coals before you host the barbecue.
