Storyline

This is a journey to discover culinary traditions long thought lost due to the hardship that Cuba survived after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Eye-opening in every way, especially for those who may think that Cuban food is just rice and beans, the film makes extensive use of Soto's engaging voiceover narration.

Don't pay attention to the "rottens". This a glorious film that is in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain but much more centered on the lived experience of ordinary Cubans. A true delight.

Cuban Food Stories is about as ambitious as a film with such a banal title would suggest.

Cuban Food Stories is a gorgeous love letter to the people and country of Cuba...a real triumph overall.
