We went to a friend's house the other day for a book signing. John Verlinden was cooking a few dishes from his new cookbook. His partner's mother is Cuban and sat down with him and gave him all her recipes and shared a few stories about life in Cuba before Castro. Over a ten year period he compiled the recipes and stories and has now published a cookbook, To Cook is to Love. The book has lots of recipes, stories and pictures of Cuba. Here he is with a dish of arroz con pollo and a dish of black beans. He also made some appetizers of small empanadas and garlic shrimp, which were tasty.
