We have the great pleasure of inviting you to join us for the 24th session of the International Food Culture Exchange- Argentinian cuisines by Madam Peña and the Argentina Trade and Cultural Office at the Eslite Bookstore (the one close by City Hall) on March 26, Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please check the details as attached and block the date, invite your dear friends to come along.

Argentina, the 2nd largest country in South America and also one of the world's major food producers, enjoys her very unique lifestyle with cultural influences not only her own color tone- Latin America, but also from European immigrants (those from Italy, Spain & French) came centuries ago. So many of the pasta, sausage and dessert dishes are the indulgent creations from the indigenous and the European's. Yerba mate, Argentina's national beverage, and so many other cuisines tells every little bit ! of! the warm hospitality as well as the passion of Argentinians.

We are honored to have this great opportunity to invite madam Peña, the representative's wife of the Argentina Trade and Cultural Office to come and demonstrate couple popular banquet dishes in Argentina this time. And you are cordially invited to come enjoy a great and informative afternoon with us.

The whole 1.5 hour program will be explained in languages of both Spanish and Chinese. English-Chinese recipes will be available there for you to pick up.

Warmest regards,

Pallas Chen
