• I share with you the photos of my Alfajores from the course Alfajores Argentinos with Chef Juan Manuel Herrera. Dough of #alfajormarplatense filled with Bariloche cream (dulce de leche + butter + semi bitter chocolate), bathed with semi bitter chocolate and drawings with white chocolate, special to accompany it with a good coffee for these days -0 of the southern hemisphere.

      Have a nice day. Nico

        What a joy to have you sharing for the first time in the community. And what a way to start… these alfajores are spectacular! The dough looks airy, the filling creamy and the dipping even with a lovely decorative detail. And that Bariloche cream… a flavor and technique bomb! I can tell you made the most of Chef Juan Manuel Herrera’s course 👏
        I’ll tell you something personal: I’m a fan of Argentine alfajores! I’m in Peru, and just 15 minutes away from my house I have an Argentine pastry-cafe. Every time I go there, it’s impossible not to take some home. The ones from Mar del Plata are one of my favorites, although I dream of trying them one day directly in Argentina.
        do you have one that you consider number one? Where do you think the most traditional or delicious alfajores are made in your country? I want to know your recommendations!
        I love to see what comes out when you put into practice what you have learned. Hopefully this is the first of many posts. If you dare, there are more courses where you could continue exploring the sweet world… and we are here to accompany you in every step ✨.

        • @sussan_scoolinaryteam thank you very much Susan for your beautiful comment. I hope one day you can come to this beautiful country -as much as yours is, I love to sit in the afternoons in the Plaza de Lima, with some picarones in hand- and try some alfajores, obviously eat the Marplatense that you like so much in the city of the same name, or the many others that exist throughout the length and breadth of the country. Personally I really like the Santiagueño alfajor, it is similar to the Santafecino, but with notes of anise.

          We continue with the rest of the courses in progress!

            @nicolasosvaldoparma Thanks for taking the time to tell me that. I’m excited to know that you also know Lima and that you enjoy our picarones… nothing like eating them freshly made in the Plaza de Armas, right? That sweetness with chancaca honey and the atmosphere of the historic center have a special magic.

            And what a good recommendation the alfajor Santiagueño, I didn’t know it. I was very struck by the aniseed notes, it must have a very particular and aromatic flavor. I’m putting it on my to-do list for when I’m lucky enough to travel to Argentina (and of course, with a mandatory stop in Mar del Plata for the people from Mar del Plata 😉).

            I love this connection you create between cuisines and customs of different countries. Thanks for sharing, Nico, and how nice to know that you’re continuing with more courses in progress. I look forward to seeing you in future posts to keep learning together. big hugs all the way to Argentina! 😊

          hello Nico! (I greet you from Buenos Aires as frozen as you)😅
          These alfajores from Mar del Plata look powerful and tempting. The semi-sweet chocolate coating was super neat and the white chocolate detail really elevates the presentation. For future photos, have you tried using indirect natural light to highlight the inner layers without burning the edges? It would help to better show the texture and contrast of that spectacular filling.
          what was the biggest technical challenge you had working on this version of the alfajor: the baking of the dough, the point of the filling or the dipping?
          And if you have time, share these photos in your stories and tag @Scoolinary_es and Chef Juan Manuel Herrera! I’m sure more than one of you will crave one with your coffee (myself included)☕🍫

          • @soldamiani Thank you very much Chef for your comment, I am very happy. I’m going to keep practicing with the photos, but I will gain weight, because cutting the alfajores for the photos forces me to eat them hahahahaa

            The challenge was undoubtedly at the time of dipping them in chocolate, but as I am daring I sent it forward, and I think I got a good result. On the web….

              @nicolasosvaldoparma Hahaha Nico, the sacrifice of the pastry photographer is real! 😅
              But I assure you it was worth it: those alfajores look amazing and the bath was super even for you, not easy when one boldly takes the plunge!
              I love your attitude to keep practicing with photos-you’re already well on your way. If you dare to experiment more with natural light or even play with a neutral background, you’ll surely bring out those tempting layers even more.
              thinking of trying another variation? With classic dulce de leche you’ve already conquered several hearts, but a raspberry or coffee filling could be your next hit. 😉
              keep sharing, your creations sweeten our community!

            Nico, these look like they came straight from a pastry shop! That Bariloche cream sounds dangerously good 🤎 Definitely a treat worthy of these chilly southern days.

            • @lanamihajlovic Thank you very much Lina for your comment, the truth is that they were very good, especially to give the body that pampering of affection to the extreme cold of these days, we had temperatures of -20ºC…. A big hug
