Book Reviews of Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban
Book Review: The Hardest Working Guys in Cuban Food!
Summary: 5 Stars
You don't have to be Cuban to like this book. These are three guys who have worked really hard to promote Cuban food and culture. The recipes are very authentic and based on the dishes they learned from their families in Cuba. They have also received many, many recipes over the years from the Cuban community in Miami. What they have done is bring many of these old recipes from Cuba up to date with their own twists and variations. Their paella is the BEST I have ever had, and like everything in the book, they have made preparing it so simple with very easy to follow instructions.
I have personally prepared about half of the recipes in this book and everything has been a hit with my VERY CUBAN and VERY PICKY family! We especially love their recipe for tamales. Believe me, it is better than any tamal you can buy ANYWHERE in Miami. I also recommend the empanadas, a dish I rarely had in Cuba, but one that is sold all over Miami.
The camarones y arroz amarillo -- shrimp with yellow rice makes a great party dish as does the pollo asado ajillo -- a garlic roasted chicken that is so tender and flavorful you'll want to eat every scrap of chicken on your plate. I have made arroz con pollo -- chicken with rice -- for my family for years and I was always complemented on my dish, which I made with wine. I decided to try the Three Guys From Miami version, which uses beer, not wine. My family and I could not believe how delicious their recipe is! It's now the only one I make for family and friends.
If you want to put this book to the test, try the arroz con pollo, the caldo Gallego (bean soup), the carne guisado (beef stew), the huevos habaneros (Havana eggs), and the arroz imperial (imperial rice). If you don't like these dishes, you either don't know or don't like Cuban food!
The Three Guys From Miami recently did a three-hour, live cooking show on Miami Public Television for the most critical and demanding audience you can imagine -- the Miami Cubans. The response to this show was overwhelmingly positive and they have EARNED the respect of the Cuban community. We do love the Three Guys From Miami!
You can use the "search inside this book" feature on Amazon to see exactly what you're getting. Try a few recipes before you buy! If you are looking for authentic Cuban food with the taste of Miami, you will not be disappointed.
Summary of Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban
If you are one of the more that two million people who have visited the web site at iCuban.com: The Internet Cuban, you already know who these Three Guys are. If you are one of the more than six billion people alive today who have not, a little explanation is in order. They are Three Guys From MiamiTM who share a passion for good food, good conversation, and a great party.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.
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 that were 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.
Wherever possible the Three Guys have made these dishes simple to prepare. You don't need to be a professional chef to create any of the recipes in this book. Best of all, you don't need to be Cuban to cook and enjoy them. If a Swedish guy from Minnesota can cook Cuban food (and he does it very well), you can too!
They have madge several appearances on the Food Network.
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.
Raśl 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.
