This is a delicious book full of mouth watering recipes based on Cuban cooking. This was a Christmas present that my husband re ceived, and it was a perfect gift for him as he is Cuban and loves to cook!
The author, Joyce LaFray, is a restaurant reviewer in South Florida and over the years has become an expert on Cuban cooking.
LaFray does more than share recipes in her book, she also explains common Cuban techniques used in cooking, and also describes ingredients that are used frequently in Cuban style cooking.
A very helpful section of the book is the “Cuban Shopping List”. In it, there is a very detailed list of items commonly and uncommonly used in Cuban recipes. The ingredients are listed with their Spanish names and English names, which I found very useful!
But of course the best part of the book are the many many recipes it offers. From traditional meals to unique little known recipes, from bold and spicy to succulent and sweet, believe me there is something for every cook in this collection.
I am lucky that my husband is the main cook in our family, but I do cook as well, and often have found a recipe in this book that pleases even the kids! If you enjoy cooking and finding new recipes to try, then I suggest you get this book!
