I spent a long time at the book store thumbing through Cuban cook books before settling on this one. My family is Cuban and these recipes come the closest to my grandmothers recipes. I call her up, ask her for her suggestions and use many of these recipes as a guideline if I don't already have my own way of making a particular dish. One has to keep in mind that every family is going to have their own slightly different way of making a dish, so how I make my black beans varies a little from how another family does and so on. Everything has been delicious. I really enjoy how these recipes are homey and authentic without crazy celebrity flair. -Danielle

I came across this cookbook by chance. But as soon as I started thumbing through it, I knew it was a keeper. It made me want to go home and start cooking.
There are a lot of familiar Cuban dishes featured in this book. Most recipes seem surprisingly easy to prepare with commonly used ingredients and only a few cooking steps. There are some nice pictures for each dish, which is a must for me since I am a visual person. And I truly enjoyed the anecdotes from the authors Gloria and Emilio Estefan which helped me to get a better understanding of their Cuban heritage.
Overall a great book for anyone interested in Cuban food and Culture.
