Cooking ‘Cuban Scran’
Hiya! I’m Marlon, a Cuban living in Scotland. I am the guy cooking Cuban Scran in this home kitchen.
It was here in Scotland that my passion for cooking took off. I found myself missing flavours and dishes from my home country, and learning how to cook Cuban recipes made me to reconnect with my memories. I started sharing recipes and pictures of my everyday meals with family and friends. They became more interested in my cooking and would often seek for information about Cuban food, recipes and ingredients that I was using. That, and my interest in writing and creating useful content moved me to build a space to put all my recipes together for them to see. And now you too!
