The Three Guys from Miami have done it again with 100 ALL-NEW delicious Cuban recipes for creating an amazing party, no matter the occasion! After all, the Three Guys know that when you eat Cuban food, every meal is a celebration. For Cubans, getting together with family is at least a monthly, if not weekly, ritual. And the perfect Cuban party includes these things: Good food, good friends, good music, more good food, good conversation, a good drink or two, and of course, a good time. Cuban parties have always revolved around food-and oh, the food! Huge platters of tender roasted pork, plates of crispy yellow tostones, and bowls of black beans cooked to perfection in a thick aromatic stew, tropical drinks, sweet desserts, and more. This cookbook includes some of the Three Guys' favorite party dishes. These festive recipes are perfect for ALL occasions, and they'll surely inspire you to put together a unique party as an excuse to create a unique Cuban menu!

Review:

"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 less than stimulating banter laid out as marginalia opposite each recipe ('Milk has always been thought to provide some comfort for an upset stomach'). Still, it's hard to dislike 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; less appetizing are the shots of the Three Guys in loud shirts or staggering down a beach. (Sept.)"

Review:

Lindgren, Musibay and Castillo are the "Three Guys from Miami," a hearty band of bon vivants who offer a delicious array of Cuban-inspired foods accompanied by cultural anecdotes and off-the-wall humor. Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

THE THREE GUYS FROM MIAMI provide Cuban cooking tips and advice for professional and amateur chefs all over the world. Their recipes have been included in several cookbooks, newspapers, and national magazines. They also have made several appearances on the Food Network, were featured in a Public Television documentary, have appeared on the Travel Channel, and are frequent guests on public radio.

GLENN LINDGREN grew up in Minneapolis and first came to Miami in 1984. Here he fell in love with this tropical city with its friendly people and unique Cuban culture. When not in the kitchen, Glenn documents the antics of the Three Guys From Miami in books, magazines, and on the Internet. Although he spends a lot of time in Miami, Glenn makes his home in Eagan, Minnesota, with his wife, two daughters, and a son.

RAÚL MUSIBAY is a native Cuban, and a full-time resident of Miami. Raúl is known for his love of fishing, his great parties, and his mastery of the Cuban pig roast. Raúl is the goodwill ambassador of the group. You’ll find him at cooking classes and demonstrations "working the crowd," telling jokes, and making sure everyone is having a good time. He and his wife have two married children.

JORGE CASTILLO came to the United States from Cuba via the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. Jorge left Miami after three months to live in Iowa, where he mastered the English language and learned to love corn-on-the-cob, root beer, and Cookie’s Barbecue Sauce. Unlike his two brothers-in-law, he has always had an eye for food presentation. Jorge and his wife have two daughters..

Wow, this is a great book of Cuban food recipes! I bought their first book, "Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban," a couple of years ago. I didn't realize until recently that they have a second book. Both books have authentic, easy-to-read and prepare Cuban recipes. Both are written in a light and fun-to-read style. Best of all -- wonderful food photography that makes you want to run out and buy some ingredients.

I am buying a couple of extra copies to send to my Latin food loving friends for Christmas and Hanukkah. A great gift idea and Powell's handles the wrapping and mailing!
