(Not-My-Tio-Fernando’s) Bread Pudding Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Cuban Bread Pudding Recipe

Bread Pudding Recipe - Pudín de Pan My 97-year-old uncle, Fernando, lives in Miami. My 94-year-old mother, who lives here in California, visits her big brother (!!) at least once a year. Tio Fernando loves bread pudding and so, my mom, being the devoted little sister that she is, insists on bringing him the bread pudding he loves so much. She ...

Roast Chicken – Pollo Asado Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Whole Roast Chicken - Pollo Asado Lost In Translation My son, Adam is a handsome guy. (Okay, I know I’m his mom and all that, but I am being truly objective here. Shut up.) And even though he’s not fluent in Spanish, he can defend himself pretty well for the most part. So he was visiting my mom (his grandmother) the other day. She speaks as ...

Natilla Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Cuban Natilla and Merengue Recipe "If you think my Salsa is good, you should see my Merengue!"  I must begin with a small confession, I am not Marta. Marta has called in sick. I am just a substitute; a Mini-Marta. My name is Amy, her eldest daughter. Don’t worry! I know my way around the kitchen! I’ve learned from the master herself! Of my 4 ...

Pastelitos de guayaba recipe with pictures

Marta's Homemade Pastelitos de Guayaba Recipe My husband is an Internet Marketing Guy. (He prefers to be called “The Marketing Guru,” but that’s not important right now.) He tells me search engine facts like: “Your site has had X number of hits today.” This information totally makes me feel cool, although I’m a little puzzled by how it is that ...

Moros y Cristianos Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Moros y Cristianos Recipe  Family Reunion My family, like so many others, felt compelled to leave Cuba in the early years of the revolution. I was five years old when we left everything we knew. We left behind our home and our possessions, but saddest of all, our extended family. These are the people I share my earliest memories with. There were ...

A Very Cuban Picnic – “en cajita”

July 18, 2016 By Marta Darby 6 Comments

Summer and outdoor living just go hand in hand, don't they? It seems that since the weather has warmed up we are spending much more of our time outdoors. Sometimes that just means serving dinner out on the patio, but often it means packing a picnic and enjoying it somewhere... out there.  Because we live in Southern California, one of my very ...

Tamal En Cazuela Recipe

July 3, 2016 By Lucy Darby 1 Comment

(Originally posted on Babalu) There is a direct line from our senses to our memories – especially smell and taste. The comments I have gotten so far in response to this feature attest to that. The smell and flavor of Cuban food has a certain distinction. It is inexorably linked to our best memories of family – safety and comfort and all things ...

Ropa Vieja Pizza

June 6, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Flatout® Flatbread and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. I have three words for you: Ropa. Vieja. Pizza. That's right. You're going to love me so much by the time you finish reading this.  In my Cuban kitchen there are a few meals that are in constant rotation. I admit I tend to go for quick and easy. And ...

Cuban Sofrito Pizza Recipe

May 23, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Flatout® Flatbread and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. Do you ever have a craving for a very specific flavor? I most certainly do.  I was making an Arroz con Pollo a few weeks ago, and as I started with the "sofrito," I remember thinking, "I can just stop right here. I could seriously just have sofrito for ...

Cubano Mac and Cheese Recipe

March 16, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Cacique®  and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. When you have a big, fat Cuban family, you are aware that it takes a lot to not just feed, but satisfy them. With Easter on the way, I'm already planning a super satisfying brunch menu. Then again, what does satisfying look like? Here's how my thinking ...

Pork Chorizo and Cheese Empanadas Recipe

February 2, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Cacique®  and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own. It started out, as my recipes often do, with A Big Idea.  With Valentine's Day on the horizon, I'm planning a Romantic Weekend Brunch for Eric, which is simple enough, I thought. There should definitely be an egg dish. And fresh fruit, I think. And something ...

How to Make a Cuban Roast Leg of Pork

December 18, 2015 By Lucy Darby 6 Comments

Every year around Christmastime, I think I'll post the instructions for how to roast a Cuban-style leg of pork. Because that's what my family (and most every Cuban family I know) eats on December 24th as we celebrate our traditional Cuban Nochebuena. And every year when there's a garlicky, porky, fat mess in my kitchen, I forbid cameras because ...

Cuban Tostones and Picadillo… With Milk?

October 22, 2015 By Lucy Darby 1 Comment

Disclosure - This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with the California Milk Processor Board and Latina Bloggers Connect. The recipe and opinions are my own. What goes great with milk? I posed this question to my Facebook followers the other day and the responses I received went something like this: Cornbread crumbled in ...

Bacon wrapped plantains recipe

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Farmland® and Latina Bloggers Connect. But, of course, all opinions are my own. I'm looking forward to The Big Game. I'm talking about the Superbowl, of course. And, yes, I know who's playing and all, but truthfully, these days I'm more concerned with the menu than with what teams are on the ...

Turkey with Port Wine Guava Glaze

November 4, 2011 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

Hi all! It's a special Monday, Pre-Thanksgiving Edition of Marta's Cuban American Kitchen. I have been trying, without much success, to declare November "National Guava Month." Sadly, no one seems to take me seriously about this, but that's not important right now. So, I'm going to try again today. I, Marta, hereby declare November to be ...
