Ana Quincoces

The Versailles Restaurant Cookbook – A Giveaway

October 13, 2014 By Marta Darby 59 Comments

I can't, in good conscience, end Hispanic Heritage Month without talking about my love of Cuban food and sharing a wonderful new Cuban cookbook.  Obviously I'm a lover of all-things-Cuban. Particularly the food that so defines our culture. Platanos, black beans, tostones, lechón asado, picadillo, and of course, pastelitos de guayaba. ...

“Move Over Mojo.” – A Giveaway

November 18, 2013 By Marta Darby 59 Comments

I've been blogging since 2006. In that space of time and all across the internet, I've made some really wonderful friends. One of those is the lovely don't-hate-me-because-I'm-beautiful Ana Quincoces. Recently seen on Real Housewives of Miami - she was the smart and classy one - Ana is a talented chef and quite the delightful ...

Happy Birthday, Julia!

August 15, 2012 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

The list of my culinary heroes is long. There is good old Nitza Villapol, who, in spite of her embrace of communism, is still the definitive Cuban cook. Her Cocina Al Minuto is a must-have in every Cuban kitchen.   Of course, there are the Three Guys from Miami, that I had the opportunity to meet in Miami a few years ago. Click here for that ...

Orange(!) is the new black. (A Giveaway)

January 12, 2012 By Marta Darby 148 Comments

I am waiting (a little impatiently) for my fabulous new kitchen appliances to be delivered. I think we're still about a week out from that. You would think I'd be totally content now since I'm getting all new appliances, but you know how it is, suddenly everything starts looking like it needs upgrading or replacing. *sigh* There is, ...

What do you do with an empty (ORANGE!) caldero? (A recipe and giveaway)

July 24, 2011 By Marta Darby 33 Comments

Let me tell you about the big plans I had for this past week when I got back from Texas: I was going to cook a big, fat pot of arroz con pollo. I was going to cook it in my new big, fat ORANGE (!) caldero from IMUSA USA (which totally matches my Fiesta dishes, but that's not important right now). I was going to do a video and teach you how I ...

Happy 40th Birthday, Versailles! (An homage and a giveaway.)

July 11, 2011 By Marta Darby 28 Comments

“I need a blurb from you about Versailles.” This request came from my friend (the amazing Cuban chef and cookbook author) Ana Quincoces. She was working on a TOP SECRET project and thought I might have something to say about my favorite Cuban restaurant in Miami. Me: “Tell me what you're doing, so I can put it in context.” That's when she ...

Sabor! Cuban Cookbook – A Hot Giveaway

February 28, 2011 By Marta Darby 37 Comments

My beautiful friend, Ana Quincoces, has authored an equally beautiful Cuban cookbook. (I say equally, only because the pages are filled with fabulous photos of both her and her food, and I can't think of which is more gorgeous, but that's not important right now.) Just recently, Ana was voted Miami's Hottest Chef over on Eater ...

Stuffed French Toast, Cuban Style – A Love Story and A Giveaway

July 29, 2010 By Marta Darby 39 Comments

Breakfast is my very favorite meal. There. I said it. I love eggs and bacon and toast and orange juice and anything with maple syrup on it. I love my hot coffee. And I love crispy sausage. Dutch babies? Love them. And don't even get me started on my love for hash browns and homestyle potatoes! In fact, if left to my own devices, I would find ...
