In \u003ci\u003ePaladares\u003c\/i\u003e, James Beard Award-winning food writer \u003cb\u003eAnya von Bremzen\u003c\/b\u003e shares a fascinating journey through the country’s new food scene. Born in Soviet Russia, Bremzen brings a unique perspective to the stories she hears from Cuba’s chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, and food historians. She eavesdrops on passionate arguments about black beans and tamales; pries Daiquirí secrets from the legendary El Floridita (Hemingway’s watering hole); and guides us to vibrant markets and visionary organic farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Through Bremzen’s travels, we learn of Fidel’s obsession with dairy cows and hear wrenching memories of privation from the time after Soviet aid vanished. We meet colorful expats-turned-restaurateurs and local hipsters who obsess over global culture glimpsed in foreign movies and magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more than 100 recipes in \u003ci\u003ePaladares\u003c\/i\u003e are as intriguing as the characters behind them. And \u003cb\u003eFawn Schlow\u003c\/b\u003e’s evocative photographs frame it all with the ramshackle glamour of old Havana, Cuba’s stunning countryside, dishes that are earthy and innovative, and Cuba’s incredible people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harry N.
