by Mary Urrutia Randelman and Joan Schwartz (1992)
[FROM BOOKLADY COOKS] This book has everything we love at Booklady Cooks. beautifull crafted recipes and most importantly the kinds of stories that take you away to another time and place. Mary Urrutia Randelman was born in Cuba in 1948 and left after the Cuban Revolution, when she was only 10 years old. She kept so many of her childhood memories alive and collected these recipes from friends, family and neighbors and illustrates the book with photos of life in Cuba. Definitely a book to read cover-to-cover!
[FROM THE PUBLISHERS] Memories of a Cuban features more than 200 traditional recipes for Cuban dishes, a cuisine that lusciously combines Spanish, Indian, African, Chinese, and Portuguese influences.
Filled with reminiscences and evocative photos from Mary Urrutia Randelman's childhood in pre-Castro Cuba, this beautiful cookbook, cowritten with Joan Schwartz, presents more than 200 Cuban dishes, from appetizers like Green Plantain Chips, to such entrees such as Roast Pork Creole, to tropical rum-based drinks and desserts.
