The cuisine of Key West is a delicious conflation of cultures that only Norman Van Aken, the king of the island, could adequatelyteach.e e"Mario Batali, I've been to Florida once. The Miami/South Beach scene is quite memorable, but ultimately, it's not really for me. The one part of Florida that does fascinate me (other than the Everglades) is the Florida Keys, in particular Key West. Maybe it has to do with its literary heritage (Papa Hemingway, Tennessee Williams), although it's hard to deny the allure of white sand beaches and a tropical climate. But thanks to Norman Van Aken and Justin Van Aken's My Key West Kitchen: Recipes and Stories (Kyle), I can now add to that list, the island's food.Take a look at a map and you'll see just how close Key West is to its Caribbean and Latin American neighbors. So it's really no surprise, then, that so many of the food and recipes the senior Van Aken writes about reflect the geography. Mollete Sandwiches, Chuletas Empanizadas, and Bahamian Conch Chowder are just a few examples. But perhaps the most endearing aspect of the book are the loving tributes to Key West personalities and locales done in a way that the Van Akens know best--through food. Woven throughout it all is Norman Van Aken's own story of how he became a chef and how the Illinois-native ended up in Florida. The energy and feel to Key West seems unlike any place else; don't be surprised if you have the urge to book a flight down after reading this book. But in case you can't, you'll be glad you have the recipes in hand to enjoy a little taste of the Conch Republic., My Key West Kitchen is a brilliant tour of one of the most special places in America, the intersection of the South and the Islands. The cuisine of Key West is a delicious conflation of cultures that only Norman Van Aken, the king of the island, could adequatelyteach. -Mario Batali, "My Key West Kitchen is a brilliant tour of one of the most special places in America, the intersection of the South and the Islands.

Touring Key West by neighborhood, he and his son show off a delightful diversity of flavor: caramelized plantain soup with smoked ham and sour cream; conch and grits with salsa rosa; seared beef salad with soy-lime-chile dressing and soba noodles.
