" The best foreign cookbook honors go to Memories of a Cuban Kitchen. The book rings wonderfully true, both in its recipes and its evocations of pre-Castro Havana as recalled by author Mary Urrutia Randelman with heartfelt affection. This beautiful book is a memory piece as much as a cookbook." — The Washington Times " Memories of a Cuban Kitchen will be an added treasure in any cook' s library and a must in the kitchen of any American of Cuban heritage or anyone who' s interested in exploring Cuban cooking more fully at home." — The Miami Herald A Sampling of Remembered Dishes
