Details: From the Back Cover "The best foreign cookbook honors go to Memories of a Cuban Kitchen. The book rings wonderfully true, both in its recipes and its evocations of pre-Castro Havana as recalled by author Mary Urrutia Randelman with heartfelt affection. This beautiful book is a memory piece as much as a cookbook."—The Washington Times "Memories of a Cuban Kitchen will be an added treasure in any cook's library and a must in the kitchen of any American of Cuban heritage or anyone who's interested in exploring Cuban cooking more fully at home." — The Miami Herald A Sampling of Remembered Dishes Bistec de Palomilla (Cuban Fried Steak) Moros y Cristianos (Black Beans and Rice) Ajiaco Criollo (Cuban Creole Stew) Pargo Relleno (Stuffed Red Snapper) Ensalada de Aguacate y Mango (Avocado and Mango Salad) Flan de Coco (Coconut Flan) Product Description Memories of a Cuban features more than 200 traditional recipes for Cuban dishes, a cuisine that lusciously combines Spanish, Indian, African, Chinese, and Portuguese influences. Filled with reminiscences and evocative photos from Mary Urrutia Randelman's childhood in pre-Castro Cuba, this beautiful cookbook, cowritten with Joan Schwartz, presents more than 200 Cuban dishes, from appetizers like Green Plantain Chips, to such entrees such as Roast Pork Creole, to tropical rum-based drinks and desserts.
