Off to look at that recipe.
If you cannot find dulce de Leche in your local store, get a can of Eagle Brand Milk (not a store brand) and set it in boiling water unopened for 5 hours. Check the water periodically. Make sure the can stays completely covered.

Oh, we're so sophisticated here in this town where I live that dulce de Leche is carried in all of the convenience stores around town. hahahah

A common complaint that I see in cookbook reviews at Amazon is that the ingredients are so specialized and unusual that they can't find them in stores around where they live. That may be a downside to this book.

Thanks for the tip.

Are you referring to that wonderful fabulous milk candy? That I do not keep in the house for fear of becoming as big as a house.
If so, we are as sophisticated as you are.
Dulce de leche in recipes is nothing more than caramelized Eagle Brand Milk.
I specified because some of the other brands skimp on the sugar and the condensing.

I agree there are many cookbooks with specialized ingredients.

Though one magazine totally irked me one day.
A recipe called for Persian Pickles and some very hard to get fish.
The magazine was not Bon Appétit or a similar one.
The magazine was Real Simple.

Then I can't share with you the recipe that I have for an absolutely luscious old-fashioned caramel cake (yellow cake, hard caramel icing). It's so good it'll make you slap your mammy (that's an old Southern expression).

But I'm sure that it is simple. If you just happen to have Persian Pickles and that very hard to get fish in your frig.

I doubt that I could put my hands on it right now. Long story. Short version: most of my papers, including recipes, have gotten all mixed up and misplaced because of an incident.

If you really want it, I'll get my Mother to copy it and send it to me. I had given it a copy of it to her several years ago. Of course, after I tell her that the person who wanted it made a threat to slap her if she (you) didn't get the recipe, she might not be very forthcoming. ha

Funny (true) story . . . . I got the recipe from a woman who was a terrible cook. She couldn't boil water without scorching it (ha). But she made the most wonderful old-fashioned caramel cake! I've come to the conclusion that it is because you have to burn sugar to an extent (caramelize it) in order to make the caramel icing, and she was good at burning stuff that she cooked! My mother is a great cook, but she cannot make that kind of caramel icing as well as the woman who gave me the recipe. haaha

Oh and caramelizing sugar is a pain.

It's interesting that the folks responsible for such things dropped the price when the book was already marked down. Maybe too many people learned about the free first edition and so the newer book wasn't selling very well?

Well, I kind of doubt it. The free edition has been out a while and her kickstarter campaign sold hundreds of thousands (and the pdf was free then, I remember the campaign).

I read the galley for review when the 2nd edition came out. 199 pages in that galley, there are 89 in the free download, but that is a 2-page per counted page format (not nice for conversions to epub or mobi, tho, and not as easy to read on a tablet, either). I liked the formatting on the 2nd edition better, it was easier to read, I thought. But I'm not sure it is "bigger" by much (there has been some editing here in there, optional ingredients are listed in the ingredient list more often, for example).

But whatever you do, don't eat one of the dishes from this recipe before you engage in any sports activity, marathon race, etc. It is very important that you be hydrated as much as possible before engaging in activities such as that!. haha
