Follow on Google News | The Cuban Culinary Revolution Starts NowThe Inaugural Havana Culinary Exchange this month brings together Leading Chefs, Sommeliers, Mixologists and Wineries from United States and Cuba for a week of great food and wine on the island of Cuba.
By: Global Events & Incentives, LLC Since then Cubans have been cut off from many of the innovations and the blending of flavors of different ethnic cuisines not to mention the lack of a wide variety of fresh ingredients that we are so accustomed to in the states. They work with canned products, inadequate equipment and have to deal with rations. Just as other aspects of their culture have been frozen in time, so has their food. The Havana Culinary Exchange envisioned by Chef Douglas Rodriguez, the Godfather of Latino Cuisine, is bringing a squad of top US chefs, sommeliers and mixologists to share new food techniques, equipment and recipes with the Cuban chefs and have them share their time-honored traditional cuisine with them. "I'm honored that all of these extraordinarily talented folks are taking time from their busy schedules" remarks Chef Rodriguez, "to share their passion for food and wines in my parent's beautiful homeland." The roster of culinary talent includes: Aaron May (Scottsdale) Bernie Matz (Miami) - "Connoisseur of Tacos", Executive Chef & Owner LA Café, Bodega Taqueria y Tequila Brad Kilgore (Miami) - 2016 Best Chef in America, Food & Wine's Best New Chef 2016, Executive Chef, Alter named Best New Restaurants in America 2016 Cheryl Forberg (Napa) - NBC's Biggest Loser Nutritionist, James Beard Award Winning Chef, New York Times best-selling author Darlene Tenes (Silicon Valley) - eHow Food & Lifestyle Expert, Owner & Founder of CasaQ by Darlene, co-host Best Darn Tamale Contest Dean Corbett (Louisville) Douglas Rodriguez (Miami) - Godfather of Nuevo Latino Cusisine, Executive Chef & Owner Alma de Cuba, James Beard Award Winner Fernando Martinez (Louisville) Ivan Ruiz (Summit) - Sommelier and Owner of winelistsummit.com, Co-Founder The Wine List Sommelier John Mooney (NYC & DC) - StarChefs.com Rising Star Sustainability Chef, Bell Book & Candle Kevin Sbraga(Philadelphia) Michael Aeyal Ginor (New York) - Owner, Hudson Valley Foie Gras & New York State Foie Gras, James Beard Award Winner Mike Isabella(DC) Rodolfo Cuadros (Chicago) - Executive Chef, Carnivale Chicago Collectively they have appeared as competitors and judges across Food Network's Chopped, Iron Chef, BravoTV's Top Chef, FYI's Man vs. Child: Chef Showdown and appeared in Gourmet, Restaurant, Food & Wine, Condé Nast Traveler, Sunset Magazine, USA Today and every major network.
