Cuban cooking is a combination of
African, Spanish and Natives cooking methods and ingredients. Spaniards
brought many products to Cuba, among them the sesame seeds, cumin,
peanuts, okra, rice, yams, corn, squash, sugar cane and others.
To cook exactly as it appear on these pages is not
the way a Cuban would do it. The recipes in these pages can be modified to
your taste, if you are a cook and want to experiment then these pages are
made for you.
In the same way that the Spaniards introduced cumin
to us, Africans introduced us to the
culinary mortar, . We use cumin in fishes, meat,
soups, rice and with other foods. Garlic is one of the most common
ingredients and is known around the world. Onions and peppers are also
found in our recipes, Fruits and vegetable fried in oil are very
popular in Africa.
The amount of salt in the different
recipes is optional since the other ingredients should suffice, but Cubans
we always use it, but feel free to omit it if you wish
I will be using the original Cuban
name and their equivalent translation to many products and recipes. I will
try to be as accurate as possible.
