Florida Book Awards, Silver Medal for Cooking

Modern Cuban by Ana Quincoces reimagines the bold, soulful flavors of traditional Cuban cuisine with a fresh, health-conscious twist. From easy weeknight dinners to festive Noche Buena feasts, this cookbook delivers vibrant Latin flavor in recipes that cater to today's kitchens--including gluten-free, keto, and vegan options.

Whether you're craving authentic comfort food like ropa vieja and tostones, or curious about modern takes like low-carb picadillo and vegan ropa vieja, Ana's signature sass and storytelling make each dish approachable and deeply personal. You will also find instructions for preparing essentials including fragrant sofrito and tangy mojo criollo along with irresistible croquetas, yuca frita (fried yuca), buttery guava-filled pastelitos (pastries), flan de coco (coconut flan), and more. With tips, pantry essentials, and stunning photography, Modern Cuban is more than a cookbook--it's a celebration of culture, heritage, and reinvention.
