Cuba: 400 Years of Architectural Heritage
If you long for the days of a free Cuba, this book may bring back some pleasant memories. It is one of the better pictorial books of Cuba that we have seen. This book features many full-color photographs. A very beautiful book...(more)
This is an excellent look at Cuba during the "Special Period" imposed on the Cuban people by Fidel Castro.
The special period came about when the Soviet Union withdrew the aid that was propping up the Cuban government. Rather than admit that Communism had been a complete and utter failure, Castro threw this great country into greater depths of poverty.
Not just another picture book, this one tells the real story of this very difficult period in Cuba. The book includes some excellent essays by members of the Cuban exile community. (more)

Getting our instructions from the Adventure Chef – Keith Famie before the cameras started rolling.
Way back in February we were contacted by a producer for "Keith Famie's Adventures" on the Food Network: "Could you show Keith and his television crew some of the Cuban side of Miami?" And most importantly, "Could you prepare a real Cuban dinner for Keith?"
"As the most dedicated promoters of Cuban food in the United States, how could we refuse?" Jorge says.
The crew turns Jorge's kitchen into a television studio. Hopefully, they can turn us into television stars!
We met with Keith and crew at Raúl's house on a sunny Sunday in Miami. We escorted everyone through a short tour of Little Havana and Domino park.
Then it was on to the local Sedanos for a shopping expedition. Once we purchased our supplies, we went back to Jorge's house to prepare the dinner. Everything was filmed by the television crew.
"We weren't really sure what to expect," Glenn says. "Luckily, Keith and his crew were very friendly and we hit it off immediately."
"We made everything in front of the Food TV cameras – except for the frijoles negros, which had to be started that morning," Jorge adds.
"Just remember that the television cameras add 20 or 30 pounds to your weight," Raúl says. "We really aren't that fat!

Keith Famie was one of the participants on the television program, Survivor II: The Australian Outback and ended up in third place.
Famie's misadventure with cooking rice on the show made him one of the more famous (or infamous) contestants. (In fact, that disaster with the rice eventually resulted in a cookbook: "Yes I Can Cook Rice and So Can You!")
Famie is a professionally trained chef with years of experience in the restaurant business. In November 2001, his talent in the kitchen and his popularity on Survivor earned him a spot on the Food Network lineup with "Keith Famie's Adventures."
The first show was an hour-long special filmed on location in Africa. A new cookbook, "Keith Famie's Adventures in Cooking" was released as a companion to the show.
Keith continues to travel all over the world filming new episodes for this popular series. His newest cookbook, "You Really Haven't Been There Until You've Eaten the Food" is a compilation of Famie's travels during the first year of his television series... (more)
