A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

Product Information

Her life plan to take over at Panaderia La Paloma, her abuelita’s bakery, as a full-time head baker was cut short. While she wandered around with Orion it did read a little like a tour guide manual at times with information garnered from the internet rather than experience. I'm a history geek and educator, and I've lived in five different countries in North America, Asia, and Europe. Lila's Cuban heritage, food and otherwise, was so prevalent through the whole story and it was really well done.

There are more options—a chance to learn more baking skills, a new town that feels like a second home, people that have welcomed her with open arms. My parents would never consider sending me overseas like that to deal with a problem (in fact, they made sure I wouldn’t be equipped to do that).Lila I think, had lived a very sheltered life before this, only Miami and her family bakery and England brings about opportunity for Lila to realise that although she has learned Cuban dishes and pastries and treats very well, there is still so much she could learn and other places that could teach her. However, something about this book just didn't wow me the way that it seems to have wowed everyone else? She meets some people, gets drawn into their social circle and also gets to spend some time in the kitchen without ingredients that are familiar to her, so she starts experimenting and fusing cuisines together as she makes treats for the guests at the pub.

From this premise, I already found A Cuban Girl’s Guide SO promising and let me tell you: it lived up to the hype. I'm a huge fan of making playlists for every feeling, season and reason; I always say that music is like reading for the soul.

I expected something good, but it felt really lackluster and it may have been because of my expectations.it's a love story to your family and the places and people that are home, to healing and finding comfort in places and people and food and tradition. She thinks she knows what she loves and what she wants, yet as the story goes along, she discovers new pieces of herself, shapes new dreams for herself that she didn’t see coming, at all. Fearing Lila’s emotional health, her parents defy her wishes and entrust her summer to family and their Winchester, England inn. Orion supports and cares for Lila through her mental health progresses and setbacks, yet Lila expends zero emotional energy in his direction. The delicious Cuban pastries and mix and matches of Cuban and English food, the character’s love for baking will make your mouth water.
