Product Overview
From Follett

Includes index. "The past sixty years have been a challenge for many living and cooking in Cuba. . . . Fortunately, in the country's paladares, or private restaurants, its cuisine has not only survived but flourished, blending tradition with global influences and new flavors, fueled by the chefs' creativity, passion, and love of food. Chef and partner of Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar Guillermo Pernot and coauthor Lourdes Castro have eaten their way across the island, seeking Cuba's best contemporary recipes. 'Cuba Cooks' tells those stories and recreates those dishes for vibrant, soulful meals to share with friends and family"--OCLC.
