Notes: Guillo has taken Mami Nena’s touch and blended it with Tio Manolo’s art to come up with his own style. He keeps adding recipes to his site at : http://www.cubalibrerestaurant.com/recipes.php
The original recipe was given to Guillo by our cousin Maria del Carmen (Mary). Let’s keep sharing it.
