Cuban Cookbook Guide For Novice Vincent Bronson

"Cuba: The Cookbook could not be more timely and necessary. Through illuminating text, vibrant photos, and mouthwatering dishes, Madelaine and Imogene skillfully share the history, memories, and stories of the Cuban people, and this collection will undoubtedly reverberate across oceans and continents."As a Cuban chef who grew up in Miami and committed to honoring traditional Cuban ingredients and preparations, this book helped fill a void in my understanding of the full spectrum of Cuban cuisine. Cuba: The Cookbook, for me, provides an extensive review of how Cuban cuisine has evolved, and adapted, on the Island, in ways that are quite different from the foods I grew up with, but equally inspiring."A stunning volume from Phaidon, who are celebrated for publishing unique international recipe books to tempt and inspire the home chef. This one is no exception... Cuban food is becoming better known outside that country. Its appeal is its vibrant flavours, but this book also presents recipes in their gastronomic context. There are 350 dishes in this worthy tome and they can trace their heritage to Spain, the USSR and to Asia. This is a truly evolved cosmopolitan cuisine but without intricate or unfamiliar culinary techniques... An absorbing book of accessible dishes that would work well in any home kitchen with any cook who might even have more enthusiasm than skill... These dishes are not only delicious but they won't break the bank, either. These are exciting and colourful recipes and many of them will seem familiar... but with a very Latin twist.
