A colorful and historic review of the tantalizing experience that is Miami cuisine. Baca has taken it upon herself to mesh the dynamic diversity of Hispanic, Creole and Native experiences that have have been slowly piled upon each other to create its own magnificent history of food, in a famous city named Miami. From the native crops, to the imported specialties, this book gives a sense of origin to every decadent meal you can expect to find in every corner of the city. From the upscale south beach crab and lobster serving delicacies, to the hole in the wall, one of a kind authentic Caribbean gastronomy in the lower side of town, she covers it all, leaves your mouth watering and ready for a taste! I can almost smell the cortaditos and Cuban croquettas calling to me. Cheers!
