Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban

Actually, it's two guys from Miami and a Minnesotan who just winters
there (Lindgren). The semi-wild and mildly crazy trio are back with
their second effort (after Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban). It
features 100 new party-friendly creations and page upon page of
stimulating banter laid out as marginalia opposite each recipe. It's
hard not to like a cookbook that puts the desserts at the beginning!
Cake de Cuba Libre is the most effervescent of the batch, with rum and
Coca-Cola in both the batter and the accompanying sauce. Standouts
among the various soups and main dishes include Sweet Plantain Soup,
Cuban Wedding Shrimp in a sauce of rum and orange juice, and
traditional pork chops with plenty of garlic. The authors are willing
to Cubanize at will; there is Cuban Style Lobster (with Chorizo),
Cuban Stuffed Turkey (with a rice and bean stuffing) and Cuban Baby
Back Ribs (with Guava Sauce). The many full-page color photos make all
the recipes look mouth-watering. (Sept.)
