From the leading photographer of Cuba, A Taste of Cuba is a
stunning culinary and visual journey through Cuba that presents 75
authentic, never-before-shared recipes from the world’s most
inventive chefs. In a country shrouded in secrecy, a mouthwatering,
but little-known food scene thrives. A Taste of Cuba 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. Renowned Cuba photographer Cynthia
Carris Alonso and her Cuban husband, José Luis Alonso, take you
with them on their ride through Havana and around the country, as
they stop in Cuba’s twenty top paladares—private, family
owned establishments. Inside you’ll see how Cuban chefs are
world-class, resourceful, and inventive, adapting their dishes
based on the changing ingredients available on the market. Between
visits with the chefs, you’ll walk the streets of Cuba,
experiencing its vibrant, colorful culture and seeing its lush
landscapes up close. A Taste of Cuba offers seventy-five 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.
