A lush journey through Cuba, its paladars, and its flavorful
cuisine For Cubans, food is a complex story-a tapestry of love and
loss woven so deeply into their culture that it goes well beyond
that of history or sustenance. Gershman, who's love affair with
Cuba began long before her first visit, takes you along on a
photojournalistic journey through the streets of Cuba and its
paladares through her stunning photographs of the country's
glorious sights, the lively people, and, of course, the amazing
variety of food. Much more than a cookbook, Cuban Flavor is an
introduction to a revolutionary era of Cuban cuisine: a new
frontier. Growth and transition foster the seed of invention and
innovation, and these shifts often begin with food. From the
succulent spiced meat of the national Ropa Viejo, simmered in a
tomato-based criollo sauce, to the sweet and sticky Arroz Con Leche
or the local favorite, Flan served in a soda can, Cuban cuisine has
something for every palate. Pair these delights with a warm, sultry
night, an old convertible, and a jazz band, and sit back as you
fall deeply in love again . . . or for the very first time. This
visually arresting volume features more than fifty Cuban recipes,
from appetizers to main courses and drinks to desserts. Along with
color photographs of the dishes, you'll also get to meet the people
who create them. This remarkable volume offers a taste of the
little-known culture to a public that has long been deprived of its
intoxicating flavors.
