Recipes range from simple, country-style fare, to more elaborate dishes that are suitable for entertaining. Although we have added our own twists over the years, our recipes are rooted in the classic dishes of Cuba. You won't find any "Nuevo Latino" or Pan-Latin recipes here!
Wherever possible we have made these dishes simple to prepare. You don't need to be a professional chef to create any of the recipes in this book.
You also won't find a lot of esoteric, hard to find, or expensive ingredients such as truffle shavings, couscous, arugula, or anything in aspic!
The recipes are just as easy to make for everyday eating. In fact, most of the recipes in our new book are simple and easy to prepare so you can make some great lunches and dinners at home.
So even if you're not in a party mood, you can treat yourself and your family to a delicious meal.
So which book is right for you? There is only one way to go -- buy both! In these two volumes you will have a great compendium of classic Cuban food recipes. We give you everything you need to start cooking some great Cuban dishes for your family and friends.

The traditional method for cooking these tender peppers is to sauté them in olive oil and serve with sea salt. You eat the who pepper -- seeds and all -- everything but the stem!
The box warns that you may occasionally get a little surprise: a HOT pepper. However, we ate a whole box the other night and never found one that wasn’t sweet and light.

A Cuban version of fajitas -- without the tortillas -- makes for an interesting twist. You can have either steak or chicken marinated in mojo and served with sautéed onions and green peppers. Except for a few seafood dishes, most meals run just a little north or south of $10.00.
The brothers have also converted three Sergio's restaurants they own to the new Casavana concept. If they succeed, you’ll soon see the chain branching out to the rest of South Florida and beyond.
