Product Description
If you are one of the more that two million people who have visited the web site at iCuban.com: The Internet Cuban, you already know who these Three Guys are. If you are one of the more than six billion people alive today who have not, a little explanation is in order. They are Three Guys From MiamiTM who share a passion for good food, good conversation, and a great party. < BR> Are you are new to Cuban cuisine? If so, then you are about to enter an exciting world of flavor. Cuban cooking combines the tastes of Spain with the tropical flavors of the Caribbean. Throw in some New World spices and ingredients and a strong African influence and you have the essence of Cuban cookery. < BR> These recipes also reflect ingredients and methods that were refined by Cuban exiles after they came to the United States. Here they found an abundance of foods that were either very scarce or completely unavailable in Castro's Cuba. Fish and seafood are two examples of foods that were only rarely enjoyed in Cuba after 1959. It was also impossible to get real olive oil-an ingredient that gives so many Cuban dishes a distinctive Latin flavor. Exile in the U.S. also exposed Cubans to ingredients they never saw in Havana. Salmon is very popular with Miami Cubans, for example, but unheard of in Cuba.< BR> Wherever possible the Three Guys have made these dishes simple to prepare. You don't need to be a professional chef to create any of the recipes in this book. Best of all, you don't need to be Cuban to cook and enjoy them. If a Swedish guy from Minnesota can cook Cuban food (and he does it very well), you can too!< BR> They have madge several appearances on the Food Network. < BR> Glenn Lindgren first came to Miami in 1984 and fell in love with the city, the people, and the Cuban culture. A freelance writer by profession, Glenn documents the antics of the Three Guys From Miami in books and on the Internet. When not in Miami, Glenn and his wife live in Minnesota with their son and two daughters. < BR> Raul Musibay, born in Cayo la Rosa, near Bauta, in the province of Havana, spent one winter in New Jersey but has been a full-time Miami resident ever since. He is the manager of the Red Bird Amoco station there. He and his wife have two married children. < BR> Jorge Castillo was born and raised in Cayo la Rosa, Havana. He came to the United States via the Mariel Boatlift in 1980, then left Miami after three months to live in Iowa, where he became a respiratory therapist. Now the regional sales manager for a major medical products company, he makes his home in Miami's West Dade with his wife and two daughters.< BR>

Wow, what an amazing fun cook book. The recipes are easy to follow and the side comments are a joy to read and chuckle with. I have many cook books but this is now my very favorite! Buy it, cook with it but most of all get the insight of what Miami Cubans humor truly is!

The recipes are fantastic and authentic. I grew up in Cuba and now live in the frozen tundra so it brings back warm memories!

From what I have gathered, it sounds like a fun book, although from the reviews, I'm not certain if it completely adheres to the traditional recipes. Being born & raised in Cuba-one thing is for certain, corn, meats, seafood, sugar & fruits here in the US have a totally different flavor-
I appreciate all the helpful reviews, but people---For the love of GOD,,,
Please stop referring to us as Latin or Spanish,,we're just CUBAN!
Your bunching us up together in one group--and believe me,,there are worlds of difference-
Example-Unlike central & south Americans, we only have 3 races in CUBA, black (strictly descendants of slaves) - whites (strictly descendants of Europeans-mostly Spaniards) and Mulatos (mix of the two)- That's it..We have no natives or native cultures, cause for the most part, the Spaniards exterminated them.
Finally not to mention the fact that we do not SPEAK LATIN!!
Thank you...
