Cuban Garden

CubanBq34 - Original Print       This is a bouquet of the herbs Cubans use frequently in their cooking--Bay Leaf, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Parsley, Saffron, Scallions and Vanilla. Also are Cassava Casabe, Sweet Potato, Sour Orange Naranja Agria and tropical fruit--Lime, Lemon, Mango, Papaya, Plantains and Guava Sofrito. Black Beans and Rice, Yuca, Green Olives, Coffee Café, Rum, Daiquiri and Pineapple Pudding Habanero can be found on their tables from Beach Hut to Presidential Palace. The Spanish brought Bay, Cumin, Garlic, Parsley and Saffron to mix with native Allspice, Annatto (Bijol powder), Chili Pepper, Green Pepper, and Vanilla. Cubans also use Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pepper, Cilantro/Coriander, Onion, Paprika, Cachucha Peppers, Saffron, Scallions, Spearmint and Sweet Pepper.

      Cuba's earliest inhabitants were the Ciboneys, followed by the agricultural Tainos, who greeted first Columbus and the Spanish, followed by merchants from England, France, Holland and Portugal, and workers from Africa, China and other islands. The Cuban style of cooking commonly called Creole, or comidas criollas, is an amalgam of Caribbean and European elements. Begin with the basic native foods, throw in some new-world spices and ingredients, add a strong African influence and you have the essence of Cuban cooking. Cuban food is spicy but not spicy-hot. It's a magical island-–a paradise of dazzling lights, tropical breezes, and starry nights. Indeed the richness, variety and vitality of the food reflects the very qualities of Cuban life that have been celebrated by so many writers, artists and musicians. Enjoy this world of sunshine, music, laughter and dance. Cubans have always found joy and friendship in their kitchens and around their tables.
