Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
Culinary Historians of San Diego presents Richard Feinberg, who will enlighten us on the ways Cuban cuisine has been influenced by the dishes of Spain, France, Africa and China, as well as the broader Caribbean Basin. He will also explain how it has blossomed within the last decade after the regime turned from the Fidel-Castro-era-nationalized restaurants with standardized fare to permitting paladares, or private restaurants, mostly within homes, with seats ranging from 12-50. These paladares have been mushrooming of late.

Richard Feinberg is a professor of international political economy at UCSD?s School of Global Policy & Strategy. He has enjoyed a distinguished career as diplomat, policy advisor, corporate consultant, university professor and author of over 200 books and articles on international relations. His four decades of engagement with U.S. foreign policy spans government services?in the White House, Departments of State and Treasury as well as in numerous Washington-based public policy institutes, the Peace Corps in Chile and now?academia. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution authoring three reports assessing Cuba?s economic reforms on foreign investment, globalization, democratization and non-governmental organizations. Presented in the Neil Morgan Auditorium.
