The Moreish Podcast: Caribbean History, Culture, and Cuisine by Hema Ramsingh

Episode notes

Discover Cuba's history and cuisine in this episode of The Moreish Podcast.

From the Indigenous Taino people, Spanish colonization, slavery, and revolution, Cuba has a rich and layered history. It's more than beaches and communism.

Co-hosts Hema and Mireille dive into the Indigenous Taino people and the historical forces that shaped the Cuba we know today. From the Spanish settlements, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, and the impact of the United States, it's an eye-opening look at how politics, migration, and cultural identity has influenced current culture and cuisine.

Learn about Cuba's national dish Ropa Vieja and its folklore origins, the rise of Cuban-American cuisine in America and how it differs from dishes you will find in Cuban homes.

Fun fact: Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean sea.
