Classic Cuban Cookery

Rating:
Summary: Classic? Cuban?
Review: "Classic" in the title of the book is a misnomer as many of the recipes utilize ingredients that are not traditionally used in Cuban cooking. The book is missing many of the basics and messes with the ingredients you'd find in your classic dishes. The information that is provided about the classic usage of chilis in many dishes and the whole section on hot salsas is just not classic Cuban. While the book provides some interesting takes on classic Cuban cooking, don't look to it to recreate Cuban dishes that you'd get in a Cuban home or restaurant. Overall, I found it inauthentic. Although if you're well versed in Cuban cooking and want to do some Latin fusion by adding some other favors to your cooking it may be a good choice.
