Picadillo Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Cuban Picadillo Recipe - Comfort Food I love to cook and entertain and I almost always make Cuban food when we have company. People are usually surprised that even the simplest food is so flavorful. In the early 60’s when we were new to this country, my mom experimented with all kinds of traditional, inexpensive American foods. We kids went along ...

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 ...

Guava Cheesecake Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Guava Cheesecake Recipe: Move Over, Pumpkin Pie! So, I’m still on my quixotic quest of declaring November as National Guava Month. To that end, I am happy to share my recipe for Guava Cheesecake in time for you to make it for “El Sanguibin.” Of course, the main ingredient in cheesecake is cream cheese, which is inexorably tied to Philadelphia ...

Garlicky Chicken Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

“How’s my breath?” from Marta’s Cuban American Kitchen My dad used to swear by the medicinal properties of garlic. “Garlic,” he would always say, “is a natural antibiotic.” He usually made this pronouncement as he was pouring olive oil over toasted Cuban bread and spreading garlic over it to make himself a sandwich. Yes, a sandwich. (This is ...

Cuban Coffee – How To Make It

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

How to Make Cuban Coffee - The Perfect Blend If there’s one thing Cubans know how to do well (besides dancing and cooking and arguing, but that’s not important right now =D), it’s how to make the Best Coffee on This Earth. Seriously, every Cuban home I was lucky enough to have been a guest in, served the most delicious, practically perfect, ...

Huevos Habaneros Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Huevos Habaneros Recipe My family owned a farm just outside of Havana in Bejucal. We would always travel to “the country” to celebrate holidays. I vividly remember one time that we were going to be meeting the rest of the family on the farm to celebrate Easter. When we arrived at Finca Luzita (named after my mom, and the sign is still there ...

Fricase de Pollo Recipe

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Fricasé de Pollo Recipe - a lo Cubano As you know, I've recently been participating in Mizkan's™ Cooking Challenges. See here and here. To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 through October 15), we were asked to share a recipe from our country, or "Receta de Mi Pais."  For this challenge, I chose to enter one of my family's ...

Pastelitos de Guayaba Recipe

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 7 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 4 Comments

(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 ...
