In 10 years' time, says Raichlen, "I've watched Miami blossom from a gastronomic backwater to a culinary hot spot." Here, Cuban, Nicaraguan, French Caribbean, Iberian, Chinese, Deep South and Jewish cuisines meet but remain distinct, each taking advantage of abundant and inexpensive tropical produce (and 12 months of barbecue weather a year), while avoiding others; Cuban and Nicaraguan kitchens, for instance, still ignore the ubiquitous seafood. Raichlen's lively immersion in this confusion of ethnic food introduces the traditional Caribbean starchy roots, such as yucca, yam and boniato, as well as the typical tropical fruits and recent exotic introductions, like the lychee nut. Also present: several formulas for preparing alligator--savory and healthy, but often tough--and even an address from which to mail-order the frozen meat. Raichlen's style is amiable and chatty, and procedures are detailed and sensitive ("gently simmer for 10 minutes, or until the oil begins to bead on the surface of the sauce. This indicates that the water has evaporated, concentrating the flavor of the sauce"). The thick volume conveys a sense of authenticity throughout, although the author sometimes reveals an ignorance of the historical development of Caribbean cuisines (i.e., the discussion of tamales reveals a Mexican bias).

The late entertainer Ricky Riccardo would be pleased and surprised that a yanqui such as Raichlen could capture the essence of Caribbean tastes so well. This transplanted New Englander has simmered together a unique stew of Latin American, Cuban, and island cuisine under the "Florida" rubric and infused it with a touch of nouvelle. The writing is light and breezy; sidebars proliferate, from a definition of batidos (a cross between a smoothie and a milk shake) to a paean to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' Cross Creek cookery. Exotic fish, fruits, and vegetables dominate; after all, this is a state boasting nonhothouse tomatoes the year around. And although some of the more than 200 recipes require frying or sugar, Raichlen carefully points out dishes for the health conscious (without, however, any nutritional analyses). Among the new and old flavors are smoked gazpacho, yucca fritters, media noche (the Cuban midnight sandwich), and macadamia-crusted pompano.
