Summary

Birgit Kahle considers writing cookbooks as a "finger exercise" in a theory embossed journalistic everyday. But this book is more than a collection of recipes. The author maintains a soft spot for Cuban since she advised German companies in the early 1990s in the joint venture planning on the island.
In this book she talks about regional culinary traditions, an amalgam of Spanish, Asian and African influences, as well as changing eating habits as a reflection of changing regimes.
