The Miami Herald October 21, 1998 Nitza Villapol, 74, Cuban cooking advisor By FABIOLA SANTIAGO Herald Staff Writer Cuban culinary guru Nitza Villapol who taught generations of Cubans how to cook and, in the last decades, how to cope with a ration book and acute food shortages has died in Havana at age 74, Cuba's official press announced Tuesday. The circumstances of her death were not reported. Villapol was known for her cookbook Cocina al minuto (Cooking to Order), dubbed ``the bible of Cuban cuisine,'' and for her TV show of the same name. A Cuban Julia Child of sorts, she also starred on radio cooking shows and wrote at least two other books on Cuban cooking. In the 1950s, young brides took their cooking lessons from Villapol. Some of them later fled to exile in South Florida with their worn copies of Villapol's Cocina al minuto. Copies of the book reprinted in the United States without her

Exploring the Culture of Little Havana A Learning Community Project (School of Education, the College of Arts and Science and Eaton Residential College, University of Miami) Cuban Cuisine Cuban cuisine has been influenced by Spanish, French, African, Arabic, Chinese, and Portuguese cultures. Traditional Cuban cooking is primarily peasant cuisine that has little concern with measurements, order and timing. Most of the food is sauteed or slow-cooked over a low flame. Very little is deep-fried and there are no heavy or creamy sauces. Most Cuban cooking relies on a few basic spices, such as garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay laurel leaves. Many dishes use a sofrito as their basis. The sofrito consists of onion, green pepper, garlic, oregano, and ground pepper quick-fried in olive oil. The sofrito is what gives the food its flavor. It is used when cooking black beans, stews, many meat dishes, and tomato-based sauces. Meats and poultry are usually marinated in citrus juices, such as lime or sour orange juices, and then roasted over low heat until the meat is tender and literally falling off the bone. Another common staple to the Cuban diet are root vegetables such as yuca malanga , and boniato , which are found in most Latin markets. These vegetables are flavored with a marinade, called

Exploring the Culture of Little Havana A Learning Community Project (School of Education, the College of Arts and Science and Eaton Residential College, University of Miami) The New Cuban Cuisine The Cuban style of cooking is simple in concept but complex in flavor. Much Cuban food owes its heritage and tradition from Africa and neighboring, Caribbean cultures. However, there are two distinctive styles of cooking: "the classic" whose techniques and ingredients have been in use for a long time across the island, and "the new," labeled nuevo Cubano , which adds a variety of herbs and spices from other cuisine and emphasizes presentation. For example, the province of Oriente, in eastern Cuba, is well known for its contribution of spicier and more robust dishes to the cuisine of the island due to the influx of Haitian and Jamaican immigrants to the island beginning in the 1790's. In the states, Cubans, too, have opted to choose hot peppers, like blazing scotchbonnets and serranos, to prepare recipes such as black bean salsa. Cubans who arrived in the United States in the late 50's and 60's had to make some adaptations to their cooking. Many markets did not carry the vegetables, fruits or cuts of meat that they were accustomed to using in their island kitchens. Lard and olive oil, which are generally used in Cuban cooking, had to be replaced by other cooking oils. Lard was too difficult to find and olive oil was too expensive; a substitute had to be found. Cooks started using vegetable oil, which was readily available and affordable. Nowadays, safflower and canola oils have become more preferable because they are healthier. Many items are now also available in low-fat versions. The consumption of salt has too been cut back thanks to low- sodium products.

Cuban-born Mary Urrutia Randelman, who currently lives in New York, makes an impassioned case for it in her disarmingly nostalgic cookbook, Memories of a Cuban Kitchen , co-authored with New York writer Joan Schwartz. In other words, Cuban cuisine is something of a mishmash. But no matter, for her book contains a colorful and tantalizing collection of 250 recipes Randelman points out that Cuban cooking, like Spanish, is highly seasoned but not overly spicy. It makes use of local products like plantain, sweet potato, okra, squash, taro and pimento. Her section on salads and vegetable dishes glistens with healthy appeal in such dishes as mango and avocado salad, and tropical fruit salad. Desserts range from guava tart to sweetened grapefruit shells. The book ends with a section on beverages, including a banana and rum milkshake and a Havana sunset with vodka, grenadine and pineapple juice.

You Are Wanted Last Updated: >>More from More Recipes E-mail this to a friend Cooking kosher Cuban The fascination with Cuban food began long before President Carter’s publicized visit to the island 90 miles off the South Florida coast. The hundreds of thousands of Cubans who left the island when Castro came to power in 1959, brought with them their spicy melting pot cuisine, dishes rapidly welcomed by globe-trotting Americans. Much of the present Cuban cuisine goes back to the 15th century when the Taino-Arawak Indians introduced Columbus to corn. Spanish and Portuguese settlers cooked native fruits and vegetables using their culinary techniques. A prime example is Ropa Vieja. the shredded beef featured on every Cuban restaurant menu. The dish is originally Spanish, but in Cuba, it is seasoned with peppers and achiote oil, made from Cuba’s orange-red annatto seeds. African slaves and Chinese laborers have also left their mark. Their diet consisted mainly of black beans, rice, plantains and yuca. Combinations of rice and black beans, and plantains and yuca are typical side dishes. Light Bacardi rum and sugar from the abundant crops of sugar cane, adds aromatic sweetness to the rich, creamy desserts. Although pork plays a major role in Cuban cuisine, cheap beef cuts such as flank steak used in Ropa Vieja and Picadillo, a spicy beef hash are easily duplicated for the kosher kitchen.

35. Aunt Clara's Dominican Cooking - Congrí And Tostón - Two Esentials Of Cuban Co Aunt Jane s kitchen floor. Congrí and tostón two esentials of cuban cooking By Hugo L. Sánchez. Continuing our series on Caribbean http://dominicancooking.com/archives/articles/69.htm

Home Articles Contact us Message board ... About us Aunt Jane's kitchen floor Congrí and tostón - two esentials of cuban cooking By Hugo L. Sánchez Continuing our series on Caribbean cuisine, our article of the week takes on a poetic flavour with this passionate ode to what we know as moro and tostones by Cuban writer Hugo Luis Sánchez. The mother of all kitchen rules, as every cook who loves the kitchen with a burning passion will tell you, is that you get the best results when you cook the food you love for those who are going to love eating it. Congrí and toston , inseparable components of any self-respecting Cuban dining table, are ruled by this principle. They are living proof that tastes are not formed by whim, but through history, cultures and oceans, continents, islands and latitudes which have led us to view them in the same way as that love we mentioned above, without which, we have simply forgotten how to live. The legends surrounding congrí are vague and complicated. Most people believe that it reached Cuba from the east, as did the wars, in this case from Haiti, that most African of Caribbean nations. Others maintain that it was born here in the country shacks, emerging from the tough labour of the sugar cane plantations. Whatever its history, congrí was basically a mixture of red beans cooked with white rice, but with the passing of time, perhaps more so in these last few decades of shortages, this usually means rice with black beans, named after the Moors and Christians due to the combination of colours and the extended battle between the two on the Iberian peninsula.

Cuban Fried Rice Jorge: However, you might not know that there are many Chinese people in Cuba. Glenn: In fact, Havana has its own little Chinatown. Jorge: So it's no surprise that the Chinese also had an influence on Cuban cooking, and Arroz Frito (fried rice) is probably the best example of this. Glenn: Similar to the fried rice served in Chinese restaurants, this recipe is the standard (with some variations) for the Arroz Frito that is sold in Cuban restaurants all over Miami. 4 eggs 1 teaspoon soy sauce Peanut oil/vegetable oil for frying 1 onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 3 celery stocks, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 4 cups of cooked rice Diced ham, 1/2 cup or more 1 teaspoon chopped chives 1/2 cup chicken stock or broth (more or less) 1/2 cup chopped green onions 2 tablespoons soy sauce Options Shrimp, Lobster, Crabmeat Scramble the eggs with a whisk, adding one teaspoon soy sauce and two tablespoons of chicken broth. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, or wok rolling the oil around to coat the bottom and sides. or wok and when hot, pour the egg mixture in so that it coats the bottom. It should look like you're making a giant pancake. Lower heat to medium low and cook thoroughly, flipping once. Remove from pan and cut the egg into long thin strips. Add the rice and fry for about five minutes, stirring frequently. Add some chicken broth or stock, enough to flavor the rice, but not make it soupy! Add a dash or two of soy sauce. Add the diced ham and chives. Stir sparingly, and continue cooking for five minutes. Last, gently fold in the green onions and egg strips. (NOTE: Sometimes four cups of rice just won't fit into the largest frying pans! You might need to transfer everything to a larger pot!)

Some people find the fried green plantains called tostones a little too starchy, but I liked them, especially with the shockingly red, slightly spicy Filipino banana ketchup. Slowly cooked flank steak flavored with lots of garlic, ropa vieja gets its name from a supposed resemblance to old clothes. It tastes much better. Picadillo combines ground beef with garlic and peppers flavored with cumin, oregano, olives, and raisins. Spanish sherry adds to the spicy-sweet blend, and the mixture is served over a mound of rice. Chef Connel-Maribona pays homage to Mama Ivonne with lengua en salsa, slices of tongue simmered fork-tender in a tomato and pimiento sauce flavored with mild chiles and toasted almonds. eat cook think italy ... email

The sterile ceiling lights, mirrors, photos of Cuba, and artfully placed palms and ferns give the impression of a Havana hotel restaurant. The separated, two-party tables on the perimeter and mellow background salsa music create a comfortable, dress-casual date atmosphere; large parties may feel a tad claustrophobic due to the limited seating. The meals are straight up Cuban cooking, and vary by degrees between simple and soulful to exotic and elegant. The range is creative and exhaustive, covering the gamut of Cuban meals, including grilled and fried seafood, steak, pork, chicken, rabbit, some earthy stews, and a wicked paella. The sauces, or salsas to be precise, are exquisite, with subtle hints of saffron, citrus, and seafood au jus that make the grilled fish melt in your mouth.
