Cuban cooking
is influenced by Indigenous,
African, Arabic, Chinese,
Portuguese, and Spanish cultures.
Our comida criolla, Creole food, is influenced by African and Spanish cultures. We Cubans don't concern ourselves with measuring anything. Who can't tell when a fricase de pollo is done, anyway? When you sniff the air and it smells exquisite, jam your finger into a piece of chicken, puncture it to the core, rip out a piece, taste it and make sure it's not pink inside. If it needs more salt, add it. This is the cooking method I learned.
