Paladares

Cuba is experiencing a cultural and culinary renaissance. With a recent influx of investment and tourism flooding the country, paladares (private restaurants) are on the forefront of change. Paladares is the first book to tell the story of Cuban cuisine through the lens of the restaurant owners, chefs, farmers, and patrons, while examining the implications of food shortages, tourism, and international influences and of a country experiencing a paradigm shift in cooking. Filled with 150 authentic and modern recipes adapted for the home cook, like Pork Empanadas with Avocado Relish and Pumpkin Flan with Spinach and Saffron, and 350 vivid colour photographs, Paladares brings the country's spirited cooking into your own kitchen.
