    Great Stories with Great Cuban Food

    What a wonderful way Mary intertwines stories of her childhood living in Cuba before the revolution, each tied to the memories of great Cuban dishes. I just couldn't put the book down, except for short trips to the kitchen!

    Not sure about this one

    I am new to Cuban cooking so I'm not sure this collection of recipes is a fair representation of the cuisine. There seems to be redundancy in ingredients, especially with sofritos, and many of the recipes include sofritos. I appreciate narrative on a recipe's origin, ethnic and regional influences, etc. but the time and text spent sharing family stories and photos was a bit of overkill. In fairness though, the book is titled "Memories" of a Cuban Kitchen. There are maybe a couple dozen photos, none though of the prepared recipes.
