Eating Cuban: 120 Recipes from the Streets of Havana to American Shores
Eating Cuban 120 Recipes from the Streets of Havana to American Shores
Author: Beverly Cox, Martin Jacobs
To “eat Cuban” is to savor a deliciously complex culinary culture. Spanish, Native American, African, Chinese, and French traditions have all contributed to Cuban cooking, producing a distinctive Caribbean cuisine as richly chorded as the island's music. — Beverly Cox and Martin Jacobs's itinerary takes them from the barrio, paladars...  more » (private restaurants), and chic nightspots of Havana to the eateries of Florida's emigré communities. From their journeys, they've gathered more than 120 recipes that comprehensively document Cuban cooking's diversity, from the black bean soup found on any Cuban table, to the empanadas sold by Havana's street vendors, to the grilled sandwiches that are a mainstay of Miami's Calle Ocho, to the innovative dishes devised by chefs at top Cuban restaurants.

Gorgeously illustrated with Jacobs's photographs —many shot on the authors' travels through Cuba—Eating Cuban highlights Cuban food's historical roots, the classic Creole dishes that evolved from these disparate cultural influences, current trends in Cuban cooking, street foods and on-the-go snacks, and quintessential Cuban beverages from café Cubano to the mojito. A valuable resource list helps American cooks locate the required ingredients, and a restaurant directory points the way to the very best in Cuban cuisine—in Cuba and the U.S.
