I love Cuban food September 1, 2009
Love the Lake
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having a dear friend who is from Cuba, we are treated to wonderful meals from his home land whenever he invites us for dinner. He doesn't cook with recipes and when we query him about how he put together such delicious empanadas or cuban roast pork, he waves his hand and says "I never measure. I go by instinct!"
Well his instinct is phenomenal...mine, not so much. When I constantly bemoaned the fact that I could never duplicate his delicious culinary creations, he surprised me one Christmas with this cookbook. He said he perused countless Cuban cookbooks out on the market to find the one he wanted for me and Memories of a Cuban Kitchen invoked the recipes and ingredients he remembered from his childhood.
The recipes are easy to follow and the cookbook is organized very nicely. There is also a glossary of terms that is very helpful. The ingredients you can find in any food store and after being introduced to Mojo, it is now a staple in my pantry. The recipes use lots of garlic which my friend always says to me..."if the recipe calls for four cloves, you put in eight!!" We love garlic and I think it is what makes the Cuban dishes so delicious. I always thought that Cuban food was spicy, but it is not. It is very flavorful, but not necessarily spicy hot.
Mom's Black Beans are to die for as are the Cuban Pork Chops. The Cuban sandwiches are all mouthwatering wonderful and the fillings for the tea sandwiches are amazing. I made the sandwiches for a church brunch and everyone was very impressed. The rice pudding is a fabulous dessert for the culmination of your Cuban feast.
This cookbook is one to have on the shelf to pull out when you want to savor some outstanding comfort food from Cuba.

The title says it all. My wife and mother-in law have been looking for good Cuban recipes and this book fits the bill. All the tradition Cuban dishes are here with some common variations.

This is another outstanding cookbook. I loved the information about cuban culture, and now that I'm developing a "feel" for this style of food preparation the recipes are keeping my table full of exciting meals! Although there are no pictures of the finished meals, it is still a fantastic investment.

This book is such a treasure. I go to this book time and time again for authentic and delicious cuban recipes. I'm so glad I found this book! As a real foodie with over 30 cookbooks, this is one of the cookbooks I use the most.
