 Just Like Abuela's... October 20, 2009
Miss Laura (Miami, FL USA)
All I can really say about this cookbook is that it makes me cook like my grandmother does and that is saying a lot. Her way of cooking involves no measuring, just a feel for the recipe and I needed something more detailed. This book is very authentic and the dishes are very tasty. My favorites are Ropa Vieja, Carne con Papas, and Arroz con Leche. Using this cookbook I made flan for my grandmother and she said it tastes like hers. And that's high praise indeed.

This is a wonderful book, I keep it at my side when I am cooking Cuban Food.
Easy instructions and preparations of foods with great tasting results. I just purchased my second book for my second home.

Everything I have made from this book tastes exactly like the food in the famous Cuban restaurant "Versailles" in Miami, which to me is the essence of classic 1950s Cuba. This is not a "30-minutes meals" type of book. All the recipes aren't necessarily simple, though some are, but they are very authentic and Mrs. O'Higgins does a good job of explaining the procedures.
Some of the recipes that I have tried are the Ropa Vieja, el Picadillo Clasico, of course the black beans, Arroz con Pollo, Tambor de Platano and the Andalusian Chicken Breasts, which is delicious, and all the recipes have been a success.
Aside from the classic recipes, the book is dotted with "recuerdos", or reminiscences of life in early and mid-century Cuba and pictures of Mrs. O'Higgins family, making for a very enjoyable and endearing read.
