Book Reviews of A Taste of Old Cuba: More Than 150 Recipes for Delicious, Authentic, and Traditional Dishes
Book Review: I bought it so I could cook my favorite recipe!
Summary: 2 Stars
Years ago I used to frequent a great Cuban restaurant near where I worked. My favorite dish there was "picadillo" which is basically a hash made with ground beef, garlic, onions, olives, capers and tomato (and served over white or yellow rice). It was my favorite. So, when the restaurant closed its doors forever, I tried to duplicate the dish at home but never came close. One day I picked up A Taste of Old Cuba and lo and behold it had the picadillo recipe (all the ingredients were available at the supermarket). I cooked up the recipe as soon as I could and it was the exact dish that I used to have at the Cuban restaurant. Eventually I tried several other recipes from the book, however, they were not as good as the other Cuban dishes I've had in the past.
