Notes about Recipes in this book

• Stewed shrimp, Creole style (Camarónes estofados al estilo Santiago de Cuba)

  • nicolepellegrini on May 02, 2025

    Very easy recipe with a lot of flavor punch!

• Chicken breasts with black beans and avocado salsa (Pechugas de pollo con frijoles negros y salsa de aguacate)

  • nicolepellegrini on February 19, 2026

    I thought this was pretty good - and very filling with the beans. I did use canned beans instead of cooking them from scratch to save time.

    It got lots of compliments, but it required one sauce and one salsa

• Chicken with mustard yogurt sauce (Pollo con salsa de mostaza y yogur)

  • nicolepellegrini on April 01, 2026

    We enjoyed this - it was super-simple for a day I didn't have a lot of energy to plan dinner, and really tasty with just some roasted potatoes on the side. It may not look that nice but it has a lot of flavor and the sour orange is a great easy marinade.

• Pork tenderloins in wine sauce (Filetillos de cerdo en salsa de vino)

  • nicolepellegrini on December 24, 2025

    Not the most elegant-looking dish, but really flavorful. Husband loved it and asked me to bookmark it to definitely make again.

• Calle Ocho chops (Chuletas de cerdo Calle Ocho)

  • nicolepellegrini on August 03, 2025

    Tasty marinade for pork chops and simple recipe to complete.

• Broiled tomatoes with fresh herbs (Tomates asados à la parrilla con hierbas aromáticas frescas)

  • nicolepellegrini on August 03, 2025

    Great dish to make in the summer with juicy flavorful tomatoes.
