About this product
Product Information
With more than seventy mouthwatering recipes throughout, Havana Salsa is the vibrant memoir of Viviana Carballo and her extraordinary childhood growing up in Cuba. A collection of stories about her large, extended family -- an eccentric group who conducted their lives against the extraordinary backdrop of Havana -- Carballo recalls the 1940s and 1950s when Havana was a nonstop party, and food and music defined the culture, until Fidel Castro took power in 1959, and she was forced to leave her beloved country. With each delightful family memory, Carballo showcases the food of her culture and a delectable recipe, beginning with her childhood in the forties (calabaza fritters, sweet plantain tortillas, and oxtail stew), through the sensual fifties (roast shoulder of lamb, Cuban bouillabaisse), and then the first eighteen months of Castro's revolution (mango pie, tamal en cazuela, and papas con chorizo). Havana Salsa tells the history of Carballo's Havana as only she can -- through the intimate and unifying experience of food, family, and friends.

Reviews
"I have seen and probably own every Cuban cookbook published since the 1950s, and Havana Salsa goes way beyond black beans! It is so well researched -- no cookbook collection can do without it, and it brings back the past in a delicious and decadent way."-- Chef Douglas Rodriguez, restaurateur and author ofThe Great Ceviche Book, "A delicious combination of tales about [Carballo's] quirky family and recipes for dishes that are seared into her memory."--The Miami Herald, "A delicious combination of tales about [Carballo's] quirky family and recipes for dishes that are seared into her memory." -- The Miami Herald, "A delectable collection of remembrances and recipes, Havana Salsa captures the exotic and enigmatic flavors of Cuba's past. With a fresh and uninhibited style, Viviana Carballo ventures beyond the merely nostalgic and invites us to ponder the tantalizing notion that, while the Cuba she knew is gone forever, through her love for the art of cooking it is still possible to savor some aspects of her country's former glory today." -- Cecilia Samartin, author of Broken Paradise, "Havana Salsais food-as-memoir set at a diverse and often eccentric table....[Carballo's] Cuba will never be filled with decaying buildings, rationed supplies and difficult goodbyes. All she has to do is go into the kitchen, and the vibrant pulse of her homeland is revived in a whiff of ripe mango [and] the sizzle of calabaza fritters on the stove."--The Orlando Sentinel, "I have seen and probably own every Cuban cookbook published since the 1950s, and Havana Salsa goes way beyond black beans! It is so well researched -- no cookbook collection can do without it, and it brings back the past in a delicious and decadent way." -- Chef Douglas Rodriguez, restaurateur and author of The Great Ceviche Book, "What to serve for dinner the night a new dictator comes to town? If you are like Viviana Carballo and lived in Cuba during the heady first days of 1959, you make pollito en cazuela (stewed whole chicken), accompanied by arroz con coco (coconut rice), and wash it all down with a Kir Royale, of course!...[A] witty, delicious book." -- Mirta Ojito, author of Finding Mañana: A Memoir of a Cuban Exodus, "What to serve for dinner the night a new dictator comes to town?

With her original and immensely charming voice we are transported through her memories of Cuba in the 40s and 50s when the enthralling power, the 'magic realism' that Cuba had in spades was alive and well. She saves it and then teaches us how to prepare these lusty flavors that can come alive again in our kitchens. What an inspiration, what a joyride!"-- Chef Norman Van Aken, founder of Norman's Restaurants USA and author ofNew World Kitchen, "What a delicious, romantic, bawdy, touching spell Viviana Carballo casts over us in her memoir/cookbook, Havana Salsa.
