THREE GUYS FROM MIAMI COOK CUBAN: 100 Great Cuban Recipes with a Touch
of Miami Spice
Glenn Lindgren, Raśl Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Gibbs Smith, $29.95
(234p) ISBN 1-58685-433-X
This cookbook boasts solid renditions of Cuban dishes, with witty
repartee among its three authors who have a Cuban culture Web site,
www.iCuban.com. A brief introduction entices with information about
Cuban migration to Miami, but the food itself is alluring. Avocado and
Pineapple Salad is refreshingly unusual, and marinating Cuban-Style
Skirt Steak in a mix of onion, herbs and sour orange juice before
grilling delivers maximum flavor with minimal work. The authors nicely
cover savory snacks like Cornmeal Pancakes, numerous types of
empanadas, and Plantain Chips. They also remain true to authentic
Cuban cuisine by not skimping on the frying, though fat-phobic
Americans will probably avoid the Fried Pork Chunks. Overall, this
effort stands out and has few competitors. (Nov.)
