He fell in love with this tropical city with its friendly people and unique Cuban culture. When not in the kitchen, Glenn documents the antics of the Three Guys from Miami in books, magazines, and on the Internet. Although he spends a lot of time in Miami, Glenn and his wife, Maureen, live in Eagan, Minnesota. Raul Musibay is a native Cuban and a full-time resident of Miami. He is known for his love of fishing, his great parties, and his mastery of the Cuban pig roast. Raul is the goodwill ambassador of the group. You'll find him at cooking classes and demonstrations "working the crowd," telling jokes, and making sure everyone is having a good time. Raul and his wife, Esther, live in Miami's Westchester neighbourhood. Jorge Castillo came to the United States from Cuba via the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. Jorge left Miami after three months to live in Iowa, where he mastered the English language and learned to love corn on the cob, root beer, and Cookie's Barbecue Sauce. Unlike his two brothers-in-law, he has always had an eye for food presentation. ILLUSTRATIONS: 90 colour photographs… (more)

In this equally lively follow-up to their first book, Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban, Lindgren and his Cuban brothers-in-law, Ra l Musibay and Jorge Castillo, offer a guide to entertaining Cuban style. They note that "every Cuban knows that you can create a party with five foods: roast pork,

black beans, white rice, fried plantains, and yuca with oil and garlic," and they present recipes for these classics and many more. Head notes, written more or less as an ongoing conversation among the three, show that their shared corny sense of humor remains intact. They also provide background and other relevant information on selected Cuban holidays and celebratory events. Along with numerous color photographs of the food and various Miami scenes, there are a glossary of ingredients and a source guide. Recommended for most collections.
