In a country shrouded in secrecy, a mouthwatering, but little-known food scene thrives. A Taste of Cuba Cookbook offers unprecedented access into the kitchens of Cuba's top chefs, where the country's most delectable dishes are created and where the chefs share for the very first time, their brilliant techniques, inspiration, and best recipes.
A Taste of Cuba Cookbook offers 128 original recipes supplied by Cuba's top chefs, tested and translated for an American kitchen by chef Valerie Feigen, allowing you to make staples such as ropa vieja, frijoles negros, and maduros-stewed beef, black beans, and sweet plantains-as well as for more elaborate dishes, such as eggplant caviar, fish tacos, and ham croquettes. It shares the recipe for La Cocina de Lilliam's life-changing bread, sweets such as dreamy alfajores con dulce de leche, Cuba's famous coffees, mojitos, and juices, and Ernest Hemingway's papa doble daiquiri of legend.
