The Cuban Table: A Celebration of Food, Flavors, and History Review: A must-have for anyone who loves cooking Cuban food - I married into a Cuban family and absolutely love the cuisine, but almost none of my in-laws like to cook! Thus, I've spent the last several years collecting a mish-mash of Cuban recipes from a variety of sources. Now, with "The Cuban Table," I finally have a definitive, go-to Cuban cookbook. First things first, this cookbook is gorgeous. The sturdy cover, incredible photos, heavy paper stock, etc., all combine to create a cookbook that looks and feels like it belongs on the shelf of any serious home cook. But that means nothing if the recipes themselves are a bust. Thankfully, that is absolutely not the case here. What you'll find in this collection is essentially a "bible" of Cuban cuisine. Not only does it include just about any classic dish that you would find in any good Cuban restaurant, it also includes a number of lesser-known dishes that I was unfamiliar with. The recipes themselves are easy to follow and often include some good background information or stories to explain the recipes' origins. I've made about a half-dozen of the recipes so far, and they've all turned out fantastic. I've mostly been working my way through the classics--frijoles negros, arroz con pollo, ropa vieja, etc.--and everything so far has received rave reviews. In particular, the frijoles negros recipe turned out the single best batch of black beans I've ever made. Of course, as with any other cookbook, you might find that you want to tweak a recipe here or there to suit your own personal taste. For instance, while the ropa vieja was incredibly tasty just as written, when I make it again, I'll use green cabbage instead of red cabbage (I felt the red cabbage imparted too strong a flavor into the broth) and add a little bit of cumin, as I felt the dish was missing that particular element. Bottom line: If you love cooking Cuban food, this cookbook is a must-have. Review: It's not only a cooking book, but also a trip through memory lane!❤️ - This Cuban cooking book does not only have incredible Cuban recipes, (which some I had forgotten about them,) but it also gives you the history behind the dish and cultural background of how the Cuban food evolved thru the years due to the many changes Cuba and its people went thru since the "Revolución" in 1959. For me, it's been a trip through memory lane. I left Cuba 1960 age 9, and grew up in Puerto Rico. My memories of good Cuban food are mixed with the delicious dishes we learned to make from Puerto Rico. (I was very young, so forgot some of them.) But, as I was perusing this book, what delicious memories started flooding back. ❤️❤️ In short, if you are only looking for a specific Cuban recipe, but not interested in how it came to be, move on to other Cuban cooking books. This one is historical, cultural, and delicious and it's perfect for that person that loves to cook recipes from other countries and likes to learn its roots! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #131,276 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #28 in Latin American Cooking, Food & Wine #33 in Spanish Cooking, Food & Wine #74 in Mexican Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (826) | | Dimensions | 10.25 x 1.15 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1250036089 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250036087 | | Item Weight | 2.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | October 28, 2014 | | Publisher | St. Martin's Press | ## Images ![The Cuban Table: A Celebration of Food, Flavors, and History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rOUCHRuKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have for anyone who loves cooking Cuban food *by B***N on August 14, 2017* I married into a Cuban family and absolutely love the cuisine, but almost none of my in-laws like to cook!

I left the island when I was a child, and I even though all my mom cooks is Cuban food, a lot of the flavors have changed due to assimilation of the American culture and the fact that where we reside it’s hard to have access to authentic Ingredients that gives cuban food its flavor. I got this book because I love cooking for my family, and to help me reconnect with my childhood and my culture. I have tried almost every single recipe, and it still hasn’t disappointed me ONCE. My family has even asked ME for the secret to my meals, haha. I’m so happy I came across it; I feel that I’ve gathered enough knowledge and tricks of what makes food taste like Cuban food to further try other Cuban dishes that are not in the book. I love it. I highly highly recommend it, it has many known, unknown and forgotten recipes to dishes, all very much authentic. Take it from my mom, who had my pastelitos of guayaba and she started talking about her childhood. Hahaha. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Cuban Table: A Celebration of Food, Flavors, and History - Memories Of A Cuban Kitchen - Cuban Flavor: Exploring the Island's Unique Places, People, and Cuisine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8033166-the-cuban-table-a-celebration-of-food-flavors-and-history](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8033166-the-cuban-table-a-celebration-of-food-flavors-and-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
