Editorial Review of Three Guys from Miami Celebrate Cuban: 100 Great Recipes for Cuban Entertaining (Three Guys from Miami)
These festive recipes are perfect for ALL occasions: The Three Guys know that when you eat Cuban food, EVERY meal is a celebration. That's why "Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban" is NOT just a party book! Although this book is built around a Cuban party theme, the recipes are just as easily made for everyday eating. In fact, most of the recipes are simple and easy to prepare for some great lunches and dinners at home.
Even if you're not in a party mood, you can treat yourself and your family to a delicious meal. The recipes follow the spirit of their first book, "Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban," with clear, easy-to-follow instructions that make creating spectacular dishes a snap.
When you do want to party, why not try a Cuban-style party? Cuban parties have always revolved around food and oh, the food! Huge platters of tender roasted pork, plates of crispy yellow tostones, bowls of black beans cooked to perfection in a thick aromatic stew, tall glasses of tropical drinks, trays of sweet desserts, the tang of citrus and garlic in the air... Are you hungry yet? We thought so. As the Three Guys say, "Party when you can, but always eat well!"
The Guys pair their amazing recipes with cultural anecdotes on all things Cuban and colorful photography that captures the food and soul of Miami.

Review Summary: Go Cuban with no experience necessary
Review: Lots of color-drenched photos of the food, the ingredients, the authors and the place enliven this party approach to Cuban cooking. The authors begin with deserts - Mango Upside Down Cake, Pumpkin Flan - before moving on to drinks (Pina Colada).
Each recipe includes banter in the margins from the three authors. Occasionally there's a nugget of useful advice, but mostly these can be skipped. While there are some rich and elegant dishes (Shrimp in Cilantro Cream Sauce, Cuban Style Lobster), the guys tend to feature mostly casual traditional (Spanish Bean Soup, Rice with Seafood, Roast Pork, Fried Shredded Chicken) cooking.
The basics are here - Black Beans and Rice, Mashed Plantains, Empanadas, Tamales - and there's a chapter on grilling which includes seafood and meat kebabs. Those who've wondered what to do with guava jelly will find plenty of opportunities here from Baby Back Ribs with Guava Sauce to Guava Cake.
The recipes are straightforward and mostly simple so that even those with no experience of Cuban food can go tropical without fear

Review Summary: Fabulous Cookbook!
Review: If you love cooking (and eating) delicious food, beautiful photography and insightful (and fun!) recipe notes -- you have to add this fabulous cookbook to your collection. I loved the first cookbook from the Three Guys and their second offering does not disappoint! I'm a New Englander stuck in "Mud Season" and just reading this book brought me to the sunny skies, friendly faces and delectable, unforgettable foods of Florida. Can't wait to try more of the recipes!
