Wow, I thought this was just going to be an American Girl-focused post—which I already loved, having read every single book as a kid while holding tight to my Samantha doll. But you wrote an entire book about it? That’s amazing—hat’s off to you! I’ll be grabbing a copy as soon as it comes out this spring.
I am almost certain that I made this recipe ca. 1999 and it was…fine? Also a chile colorado situation that I remember being very good. Long live Josefina’s cookbook!
The header on the empanadita recipe, where she’s explaining all the ways they deviated from the recipe, is killing me 😂 It’s like those NYT Cooking reviews where people completely change the recipe and then say it doesn’t taste good.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! It was a super exciting process and the book has so many great perspectives in it, too!

Yea, someone needs to write a long overdue op in response to this empanada travesty so we can defend Josefina's cookbook!
