Eating Cuban: 120 Recipes from the Streets of Havana to American Shores isn't going to be released for another month, but it is such a gorgeous book that it's worth putting on your Amazon wishlist. After all, there's no time like the present to start thinking about what you want for the holidays, right?
The book is about Cuban food and its evolution. Rather than divide the book in to chapters such as "soups" or "desserts," it is divided into periods of time: Roots, Creole Classics, New Wave, etc. Each section features a representative sample of the dishes that embody the spirit of that category. For example, Street Food has recipes for The Ideal Cuban Sandwich, Fresh Corn Tamales and Tiny Coconut Turnovers, while New Wave has Shrimp Tamales and Baby Back Ribs with Guava Barbecue Sauce. Some background is given with each of the sections and everything is illustrated with stunning photographs. Living up to the rest of the book, the recipes are well written and even though some "specialty" ingredients (like guava paste) are called for, many of them are do-able even for those who might not have access to a specialty grocer.

First we had "Havana Salsa," a book that combines the author's memories of Cuba with the delicious dishes of her youth. Next out of the gate, "Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban" the follow-up to 2004's successful book, "Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban." The new book expands on the first with more than 100 recipes that although party themed, are simple to make and perfect for everyday eating. Finally, we have "Eating Cuban" where the authors actually went to post-apocalyptic Cuba to learn how to cook Cuban food! Best of all "Eating Cuban" includes a list of restaurants including many IN CUBA where you can travel to enjoy some great Cuban dishes.
If you love Cuban food as I do, 2006 is turning out to be one sweet year!
