PICADILLO RECIPE

Hello Food Lovers

Welcome to Cuban Cooking Recipe.

We wanted to show a few photos for you to check out, also don’t forget to book mark this page and come back soon so you too can start cooking delicious Cuban food.

Born and raised in Miami, FL I grew up with a lot of Cuban families in my neighborhood. I spent much of my time watching and learning from my friends Abuelas or Grandmothers who lived in almost every Cuban household. When they would cook I would watch and learn. I discovered many unusual ways to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes with many different combinations of food which I never knew existed because I was Italian, Scottish. 

How many of you that grew up in a Cuban family, ate white rice with a fried egg on top and side of fried banana for lunch when you came home from school. This was prepared by Abuela as soon as you came in the house.
