Review title: Disappointing!
Product review: (Reviewer:Minionette)If your goal is learning about Cuban cuisine, this isn't the cookbook for it. There are no recipe introductions/descriptions, no traditional menu combinations, and not even an index. I'm also puzzled by the heavy dependence on lard, when olive and vegetable oils were prevalent in the cooking of my extended family and their friends. In fact, olive oil is an important component in the authentic taste of many Cuban dishes, inherited from their southern European origins.For an excellent introduction to the food of Cuba, try <Memories of a Cuban Kitchen>, by Mary Urrutia Randelman. Her recipes invoke the delights of my own mother's kitchen.Here's a 'recipe' for Cuban comfort food from my childhood. Heat a few spoonfuls of olive oil with 1 or 2 crushed cloves of garlic. When the garlic is golden & the oil aromatic, remove the garlic. Immediately drizzle the garlic-infused oil over mashed potatoes. Delectable--& healthier than gravy. Buen provecho!
