		<title>Picadillo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upon first glance you might think &#8220;what&#8217;s this, Esloppy Yo&#8217;s?&#8221; or even &#8220;Ah yes, i&#8217;ve made this before&#8230; como se dice&#8230; Hamburguesa Helper&#8221;. To you I say: &#8220;Prepárate.&#8221; Picadillo is beloved by many and aside from lechon asado, is as close to a Cuban national dish as there is. Picadillo is versatile, as evidenced by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cafe Cubano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, I worked at a small technology consulting firm in Miami. We did hardware, software, technology presentations etc. I enjoyed the work and got along well with the staff of whom there were about a dozen. Not surprisingly (it&#8217;s Miami, yo) there were 3 Jose&#8217;s on the payroll. Actually, we all worked in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dulce de Naranja Agria (Seville Orange)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heeded my own advice last week and ordered some Sevilles from a farm down in Reedley, California.  I only had in mind that I&#8217;d juice them, but they were so beautiful that I felt guilty not using every bit of them.  To this end, I peeled them (zesting some for use),  juiced them (used [...]]]></description>

		<title>Naranja Agria (Seville Orange)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did I just discover a Cuban meal supplement that helps you lose weight???  From the wikipedia: &#8220;Bitter orange is also used in herbal medicine as a stimulant and appetite suppressant, and has replaced the banned stimulant ephedra in many herbal weight-loss products.&#8221; Perhaps a new reality show called &#8220;The Fattest Gordo&#8221; where you eat nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting better at cooking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And so it happened that one day, when I called upon my good friend&#8217;s mother, Azalia, for advice on making something or other for the 10th time in as many weeks that she said: &#8220;El cocinar es probar&#8221; Now, that may sound vague and uninspiring and I can honestly say it didn&#8217;t mean a whole [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chicken Vaca Frita</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to Barnes &#38; Noble the other day and perusing the cookbooks (as I almost always do), I discovered that the ever industrious Estefan&#8217;s have published a cookbook. It&#8217;s a handsome bundle of paper and has all the &#8220;standard&#8221; dishes you&#8217;d expect. However, one recipe in particular that caught my eye is the topic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jamon Iberico, Champagne of deli meats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As mentioned in a previous post, Iberico ham is one of the finest pieces of cured meat you can put in your buñuelo hole.   Up until very recently, it was quite the treat as it was not available in the U.S. and I had only tasted it once, whilst visiting Madrid a couple of summers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enchilado de Camarones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the interesting phenomenon of a language that is spoken in so many places is how the same word will take on a different meaning or interpretation throughout. Sometimes, the word dissapears from the vernacular altogether. Case in point, &#8220;Chile&#8221; is not a word we Cubans use to describe any food items we cook [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arroz con pollo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a young, growing, laddy I would eat copious amounts of anything, save for a few items. One of these was arroz con pollo (acp), especially &#8220;a la Chorrera&#8221;, which translates into &#8220;sweaty-sweet festering rice fermentation&#8221; (Don&#8217;t try to to look that up, it&#8217;s Cuban regional speak). As I got older, and as has happened [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lime Vinaigrette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a not so traditional Cuban dressing but I think the fact we are using limes makes up for that: 1/4 cup The best tasting EVOO you can get your hands on 1-2 tbsp Fresh squeezed lime juice 1 tbsp Fresh minced shallots 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard 1 tsp Salt (to taste) Mix all [...]]]></description>
