Miami, Florida

Miami, Florida, has the second largest Cuban population of any city in the world, behind only Havana. It’s not surprising, then, that meals in Miami should have a Cuban accent. In fact, South Florida and Cuba share a common history: both lands were at one time claimed by Spain. Their close geographic proximity, the rush of Cuban immigrants into South Florida, and the wealth of foods indigenous to both places have eased the adaptation and evolution of Cuban cuisine in and around Miami. In South Beach, where clothing is optional (or often so minimal as to seem that way), the hip and happening are seeing and being seen, basking in both the Miami sunshine and the glow of their own fabulousness amidst trendy bars and spendy restaurants in a beautiful setting dominated by soft pastel Art Deco architecture -- much of the district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by GIGI637 
The Sour Cream Mixture is the best part! We were dipping tortilla chips in it. Will make again and again! I filled them with chopped grilled chicken breasts and onions with green/red peppers. To serve I put 2 on a plate top with the sour cream sauce, then top with a bunch of shredded lettuce and fresh pico de gallo.

Sweet Chili Thai Sauce

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by GIGI637 
This is the exact sauce that the Thai takeouts have!! I used siracha chili sauce instead of the chilis, and it is amazing! We have some left and are looking for something to dip in it.. lol

Flan de Coco (Coconut Flan)

Reviewed on jul. 1, 2009 by DaDoubleJs 
Excellent recipe. This recipe can be made with less eggs--4 or 5 can also do and you can leave out the 1/2 cup of sugar if you don't want it too sweet. Otherwise, great recipe!
