"Ultima edicion," originally published in 1857. This charming Cuban production is divided into three parts -- Sopas; Menestras, Salsas, Legumbres, Frituras y Menudencias; and Pasteleria, Reposteria y Dulceria. Each section has an index at the end of the text. The work includes local flavors such as Sopa Cubana; Ajiaco de Puerto-Principe; Lengua a la Criolla; Jigote Cubano; Pargo a la Americana; and more. We locate two copies of the 1857 edition of this work. Though we find a listing in OCLC, there are no physical locations attached.
