But there is more than delicious chicken at stake here. Food is the road home--geographically, emotionally, metaphorically. Peppered with cooking advice from chefs, ordinary folks, and celebrities including Fidel Castro himself (an advocate of pork), Phillipe Diederich&apos;s &quot;Sofrito&quot; is a love letter to the deepest recesses of nostalgia&apos;s heart.&quot;--Cristina Garcia, author of &quot;Dreaming in Cuban&quot; and &quot;King of Cuba&quot;&quot;&quot;Sofrito&quot; has the sweaty seduction of Havana&apos;s streets and the warm spirit of its food.&quot; &quot;Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt: A World History&quot; and&quot; Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World&quot; &quot;In this entertaining debut novel, Frank Delgado tries to save his failing restaurant by returning to Cuba, his dead father s homeland, to get ahold of a top-secret chicken recipe.
