All in all, we will keep the familiar atmosphere and you will be able to chat to other guests and your host.

-> Some less known ingredients:
– Malanga is a tropical root vegetable similar to sweet potato, but with a more nutty and creamy taste. Also known as taro, yautía, and eddo in th UK, it is very popular in Cuban cuisine for mash, fritters, or just to be boiled and eaten as potatoes would.
– Mojo (pronounced moh-ho) is a sauce made mainly of crushed garlic, sautéed in hot oil and mixed with citrus juice. This tangy and garlicky sauce is one of the basics of Cuban cuisine and mixes the heritage of the African and Spanish cook. It is used to marinade meats, and to pour over cooked vegetables and meat.
– Plantain is a fruit similar to bananas, but it is more starchy and can only be consumed after cooked. Unripe plantains, which are savoury, can be sliced and fried to make tostones, mariquitas and other dishes. Ripe plantains are sweet and are commonly fried, making for a delicious caramelised side dish to any savoury Cuban meal.
