Book excerpt: "Tastes Like Cuba is the account of an exile searching for the identity he's lost and becoming someone else in the process. Eduardo Machado has grappled with questions of identity, loss, and resistance throughout his life and work. He has found that the most natural means of connecting with today's Cuban experience is through food." "The stories of Machado's life from child of privilege in pre-revolutionary Cuba; to exile in Los Angeles; to actor, director, playwright, and professor in New York are interleaved with recipes for the meals that have enriched him. What emerges is a larger picture of what it means to be Latino in America today." --Book Jacket.
