Being first generation Americans in our family, my sisters and I were raised in California and except for my mother LalyÕs cooking, we were like any other American kids eating of the many different kinds of ethnic cooking that our great melting pot country had to offer. Cuban cooking however was something only found in momÕs kitchen. We have always enjoyed Cuban cooking and through the years have discovered many people also praising her culinary talents.
The recipes in this cookbook are wonderful, authentic Cuban dishes that have been kitchen tested by Ônon-CubanÕ cooks (like my sisters and I). We found them to be just like MamiÕs cooking!
I hope that you will enjoy cooking and eating these flavorful, but simple recipes.
