Summary: The recipes were just like mom used to cook.
Review: I was looking for the right Cuban cookbook for a long time. I received this cookbook as a Christmas gift and it was the answer to all my prayers. It was simple to read and follow and my husband love the food. I am thankful for this cookbook.

Review: Many books claim to give AUTHENTIC recipes with there Colorful Pictures and expensive price tag but most fail to claim. Having lived in South Florida and eating the foods on a regular basis I have to say that this little book is as Authentic as it gets from the ingredients of the black Beans to the secret ingredient in (Bistec Empanizado)Cracker Meal; which I could never figure out until reading this book,. A great book which I give five stars. If only they publish a greek cooking book as authentic as this one.

Summary: Great book - and I'm Cuban-American!
Review: Raised with typical Cuban dishes (both of my parents immigrated from Cuba to the US), I searched for a good, concise Cuban cookbook and found it! This it it! Sure, there aren't any fancy pictures but there are also no fancy ingredients or obscure dishes. The list of recipes covers all the basic dishes (I read the list to my mother and she agrees - it's all in there) and the recipes are so simple and easy (almost all are only a paragraph long). I've tried other Cuban recipe books and I still *always* come back to this one for dishes that turn out as close to Mom's as possible. Maybe I'll just toss the other books out... all I need is this one!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is a low quality, uninspired book. The dishes are obvious & bland, considering the subject matter. Not even the black bean recipe is useful . . . Go elsewhere for cuban cuisine.

Summary: Sadly Lacking
Review: This one looks like it was printed in someone's garage. Visually unappealing and bland just-the-facts writing. There are much better Cuban cookbooks -- Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban is one of them. If you want a qaulity book, filled with lavish, appetizing photography, great recipes, and witty commentary, go with the Three Guys' book and not this drab effort!
