Book Reviews of In A Cuban Kitchen (Quintet Book)
Book Review: Authentic Cuban Cuisine
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book about three weeks ago and it has already become one of my favorites. I have used it 3 to 4 times a week and each recipe has been a success, especially the Rabo Encendido (Oxtail), the Picadillo Santiaguero (Sloppy Joe), the Mojito Cocktail, the Flan, Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding). I highly recommend it. Not only are the recipes delicious but they actually work. I found the intro to be warm and informative (the details about the agriculture and history). Would have liked to have had more personal touches about the author throughout the book. I am still a big fan of Chef Alex Garcia. I was fortunate enough to meet him at Calle Ocho Restaurant and he was every bit as charming and generous as I had heard. By the way Cuban Guy, his show was cancelled because it had been decided that the entire Melting Pot series was not going to be continued to be aired because the Network was revamping programming to reflect more of an "every day kind of person" host than a professional chef. And just so you know, the show had stopped taping way before it stopped airing. They were running strictly on their library. It had nothing to do with any personal misfortunes.
