    Fantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.

    The book was as described, absolutely perfect in like new condition, and it was extremely cheap. The packaging itself was very book friendly and there were no issues with corner scuffing from the post office. The book shipped next day. Very reliable seller.

    Great Stories with Great Cuban Food

    What a wonderful way Mary intertwines stories of her childhood living in Cuba before the revolution, each tied to the memories of great Cuban dishes. I just couldn't put the book down, except for short trips to the kitchen!

    Not sure about this one

    I am new to Cuban cooking so I'm not sure this collection of recipes is a fair representation of the cuisine. There seems to be redundancy in ingredients, especially with sofritos, and many of the recipes include sofritos. I appreciate narrative on a recipe's origin, ethnic and regional influences, etc. but the time and text spent sharing family stories and photos was a bit of overkill. In fairness though, the book is titled "Memories" of a Cuban Kitchen. There are maybe a couple dozen photos, none though of the prepared recipes.
