Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mamey milkshake

    • TrishaCP on February 11, 2015

      Absolutely delicious. If you can get ripe mamey, make this! Substituted plain yogurt for buttermilk and that worked well.

  • Oven-roasted mojo chicken

    • TrishaCP on March 08, 2016

      I used chicken pieces instead of roasting a whole chicken, but I loved the flavor of this dish. I was able to marinade it about 24 hours, and you definitely need to turn the chicken due to the amount of oil in the mojo (excessive-I halved it).

  • Epicurious

    But perhaps the most endearing aspect of the book are the loving tributes to Key West personalities and locales done in a way that the Van Akens know best--through food.

Publishers Text

My Key West Kitchen is chef Van Aken's love letter to Key West, where he first found the passion to cook, and where the unique cultural makeup of the island influenced his cuisine today—from the "little joints" of the island to the locals' home cooking—as well as recipes from Norman's past and present. The colorful stories behind the recipes make My Key West Kitchen essential reading both in and out of the kitchen.
