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.

Valencian Savory Empanadas

Reviewed on Aug. 11, 2008 by MLM-Miami

This recipe is okay, but not great. Next time I'd like to try a different crust. I make a beef empanaditas recipe with a crust similar to pie crust, so I might try that. Also, if you peel and seed the tomotoes, it seems that the juices mainly come out of the tomatoes with the seeds anyway. (I'm saying this because of earlier comments about this).
