In any culture, the restaurant represents a window into both the future and the past of a society: Part private life and part public function, it is the centerpiece of almost any economy, representing continuity and contrast between rich and poor, creative strokes and conservative tendencies. In Paladares , Anya von Bremzen and Megan Fawn Schlow show us the unique intersection of cultures, history, and geography that define the home-cooking of Cuba as elevated within a closed-door restaurant. Illicit, familiar, and exotic, these recipes stand on their own but also together to capture a moment in time when the paladar is ushering in a new set of standards by which Cuban cuisine will come to be known., Cuban food authorities call their home 'this country of inventors,' and this exhaustively researched and gorgeously photographed book reveals how necessity sparked culinary magic. . . . I hope this book inspires greater understanding between the United States and Cuba . . . I know it will inspire us all to get cooking!, This is a celebration of Cuban food, with recipes from paladar owners who re-create their menus on a daily basis based on available ingredients. Paladares captures the spirit of the country., This amazing cookbook shares the challenges and triumphs of some of the most innovative and improvising chefs in the world. Through the ingredients and techniques, you can begin to understand more about this incredible country and its people., Filled with intimate sketches of the people behind paladares, and beautifully photographed food you can't wait to make, Anya von Bremzen and Megan Fawn Schlow capture the surreal and confounding contradictions of present-day Cuba with remarkable insight. Your mind will race ahead to imagine the possibilities for an island forever on the verge., Gaining kitchen-door access to paladares, the privately owned restaurants that must navigate both the government and a crazy black market to survive, seems like a cheat code. It's like discovering a secret passageway inside a secret passageway., The recipes that are shared in this book are Anya von Bremzen and Megan Fawn Schlow's contribution to keeping the traditions and hope of the Cuban people alive. This amazing cookbook shares the challenges and triumphs of some of the most innovative and improvising chefs in the world. Through the ingredients and techniques, you can begin to understand more about this incredible country and its people., Cuban food authorities call their home 'this country of inventors,' and this exhaustively researched and gorgeously photographed book reveals how necessity sparked culinary magic. When the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s and cut off economic support, the island nation was wracked with shortages. Home cooks responded with paladares--small restaurants in their houses, serving lovingly cooked dishes from whatever ingredients they could find. That spirit continues in Cuba today, and the best food on the island is still served by these entrepreneurs. I hope this book inspires greater understanding between the United States and Cuba, and more visits to these deeply personal restaurants. I know it will inspire us all to get cooking!, In Paladares , Anya von Bremzen and Megan Fawn Schlow show us the unique intersection of cultures, history, and geography that define the home cooking of Cuba as elevated within a closed-door restaurant. Illicit, familiar, and exotic, these recipes stand on their own but also together to capture a moment in time when the paladar is ushering in a new set of standards by which Cuban cuisine will come to be known., Von Bremzen...has a gift for illuminating the irrepressible humanity in communist food cultures, and her storytelling here adds deep nuance like a good sofrita in a pot of black beans.

Synopsis
The first book to tell the mesmerizing story of the new Cuban cuisine. A narrative and visual feast from James Beard Award-winning writer Anya von Bremzen and photographer Megan Fawn Schlow--with more than 100 vibrant recipes. Cuba is experiencing a cultural and culinary renaissance--and its paladares, the private restaurants, are leading the way. Paladares is a fascinating culinary and visual journey through the new Cuba. Born in Soviet Russia in the era of shortages, award-winning writer Anya von Bremzen brings a unique perspective to the stories that Cuba's chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, and food historians share with her. She eavesdrops on passionate arguments about black beans and tamales; pries Daiquir secrets from legendary El Floridita (Hemingway's watering hole); guides us to vibrant agros (markets) and visionary organic farms. We learn of Fidel's obsession with cows, milk, and ice cream. We hear wrenching memories of the Per odo Especial, the years of terrible privation after Soviet aid vanished. We meet colorful expats who fell for Cuba and ended up opening restaurants--and local hipsters who obsess over global culture gleaned solely from foreign movies and magazines. Fawn Schlow's evocative photographs frame it all with the ramshackle glamour of old Havana, Cuba's stunning countryside, dishes that are earthy and innovative, and Cuba's incredible people. The more than 100 recipes in Paladares are as intriguing as the characters behind them. Traditional Cuban bean pots, saucy picadillo, crunchy fritters, soulful tamales, Roast Chicken Stuffed with Black Beans and Rice--and a Gulf Stream of cocktails--are all featured here. But the recipes also reflect the current aspiration of Cuban cooks to finally catch up with the world through dishes such as Pumpkin Soup with Blue Cheese, Ceviche with Mango and Black-Eyed Peas, or Coffee-Rubbed Pork. Cuba's culinary culture is being reborn, and Paladares joyously savors this revolution., Cuba is experiencing a cultural and culinary renaissance. With a recent influx of investment and tourism flooding the country, paladares (private restaurants) are on the forefront of change. This is the first book to tell the story of Cuban cuisine through the lens of the restaurant owners, chefs, farmers, and patrons, while examining the implications of food shortages, tourism, and international influences of a country experiencing a paradigm shift in cooking. Filled with 150 authentic and modern recipes adapted for the home cook, from classics like Ham and Cheese Empanadas to Pumpkin Flan with Spinach and Saffron, and 350 vivid color photographs, Paladares brings the country's spirited cooking into your own kitchen., Discover the fresh flavors of contemporary Cuba in this gorgeously photographed volume of stories and recipes from the country's enterprising restaurants. Over the past decades, paladares--or private restaurants--have led a cultural and culinary renaissance in Cuba. In Paladares , James Beard Award-winning food writer Anya von Bremzen shares a fascinating journey through the country's new food scene. Born in Soviet Russia, Bremzen brings a unique perspective to the stories she hears from Cuba's chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, and food historians. She eavesdrops on passionate arguments about black beans and tamales; pries Daiquirí secrets from the legendary El Floridita (Hemingway's watering hole); and guides us to vibrant markets and visionary organic farms. Through Bremzen's travels, we learn of Fidel's obsession with dairy cows and hear wrenching memories of privation from the time after Soviet aid vanished. We meet colorful expats-turned-restaurateurs and local hipsters who obsess over global culture glimpsed in foreign movies and magazines. The more than 100 recipes in Paladares are as intriguing as the characters behind them. And Fawn Schlow 's evocative photographs frame it all with the ramshackle glamour of old Havana, Cuba's stunning countryside, dishes that are earthy and innovative, and Cuba's incredible people.
