Recipes from Fearful Breakers
In Fearful Breakers, José finds comfort in Mamá’s Cuban home cooking, enjoys a celebratory fiesta with friends and neighbors at the Morejón house, and partakes in a joyful Noche Buena meal with his extended family in Matanzas. At sea with his uncles, he is introduced to the foods of Jamaica and Saint Domingue (now Haiti.) If you wish to further explore José’s world, you may wish to try some of the recipes for the dishes he enjoyed.
