“Eating Cuban” author muses on life after Fidel

Since Fidel Castro’s recent retirement, the eyes of the world are once again focused on Cuba. For a first-person view of the mysterious island, I called cookbook author Beverly Cox at her northern Colorado ranch. She and photographer Martin Jacobs spent four weeks in Cuba as food consultants for an American company in 2006, and “Eating Cuban: 120 Authentic Recipes From the Streets of Havana to American Shores” grew out of their travels.

“Cuba was such a popular destination for Americans in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s — people thought nothing of taking weekend trips from Miami to Havana,” Cox said. “Then suddenly it was as though a sugar-cane curtain was lowered, and it was harder for Americans to get to Cuba than to Tibet or Timbuktu. And amazingly, it’s been off limits ever since.”"*
