Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban: 100 Great Recipes With a Touch Of Miami Spice

by Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay, Jorge Castillo

Gibbs Smith | November 1, 2004 | Hardcover

<P>Are you are new to Cuban cuisine? If so, then you are about to enter an exciting world of flavor. Cuban cooking combines the tastes of Spain with the tropical flavors of the Caribbean. Throw in some New World spices and ingredients and a strong African influence and you have the essence of Cuban cookery. </P> <P>These recipes also reflect ingredients and methods that were refined by Cuban exiles after they came to the United States. Here they found an abundance of foods thatwere either very scarce or completely unavailable in Castro''s Cuba. Fish and seafood are two examples of foods that were only rarely enjoyed in Cuba after 1959. It was also impossible to get real olive oil-an ingredient that gives so many Cuban dishes a distinctive Latin flavor. Exile in the U.S. also exposed Cubans to ingredients they never saw in Havana. Salmon is very popular with Miami Cubans, for example, but unheard of in Cuba.</P>

    A Most Excellent Cookbook

    I learned to love Cuban food on a trip to Vardero Beach several years ago. This witty coobook captures all of the flavours I remember, all re-intrepreted with a touch of Miami spice. The perfect gift for all cookbook collectors. Very unusual and refreshing.

    WOW! A Great Book

    This is a fun, easy-to-follow guide that anyone can use to turn out some great Cuban meals! These guys have proven their expertise with their years of service to the food community.

    The Three Guys blend humor and fun with their extensive knowledge of Cuban cuisine, and the food tastes great! I have sampled a dozen recipes from their website and every one is a real crowd pleaser. These are perfect dishes for parties or daily meals. The pictures in this book (by Nancy Bundt photographer) are simply beautiful. I have never seen Cuban food look this good on the printed page!

From the Jacket

Meet the Three Guys From MiamiTM -three hombres who love Cuban culture and food so much that they started a tremendously popular website-iCuban.com: The Internet Cuban. Millions of people have already discovered these Three Guys and their tasty recipes-and now you can too!
"This [garlic] soup is unlike anything I had ever experienced. It''s like bread pudding, but savory, and so light it''s buoyant. It was a pot-licker that night, I''ll tell you what."
--Chef Boy Ari, food columnist
"These fellows are funny, , The website was [originally] simply "''something fun to do''" among friends with a passion for succulent eating-a.k.a. lovers of family gatherings around a pig in a pit, of pounds and pounds of salmon on the grill, of thick frijoles negros bien cuajaditos (black beans of impeccable consistency), of the mashed plantain dish fufu." -Fabiola Santiago, Miami Herald

About the Author

Glenn Lindgren first came to Miami in 1984 and fell in love with the city, the people, and the Cuban culture. A freelance writer by profession, Glenn documents the antics of the Three Guys From Miami in books and on the Internet. When not in Miami, Glenn and his wife live in Minnesota with their son and two daughters. Raul Musibay, born in Cayo la Rosa, near Bauta, in the province of Havana, spent one winter in New Jersey but has been a full-time Miami resident ever since. He is the manager of the Red Bird Amoco station there. He and his wife have two married children. Jorge Castillo was born and raised in Cayo la Rosa, Havana. He came to the United States via the Mariel Boatlift in 1980, then left Miami after three months to live in Iowa, where he became a respiratory therapist. Now the regional sales manager for a major medical products company, he makes his home in Miami''s West Dade with his wife and two daughters.
