The Manrara Family History Video and Web Platform is based on Carmelina’s recollections, the matriarch of the Manrara Gastón family.
Manrara-Gaston FAMILY RECIPES
Carmelina’s favorite recipes from her Cuban heritage are still cherished by her family. Her Cuban Black Beans recipe is a favorite among her children and grandchildren. Many family members continue to talk about Carmelina’s chicken with broccoli, not to mention the Cuban Dulce de Leche that dates back to her childhood in La Colonia.
These recipes span generations and each cook contributes to give it a personal touch with new flavors and ingredients! Her children and spouses continue to reminisce about the family Sunday dinners with Carmelina’s Arroz con Pollo. Passing down these recipes and traditions from the past are a wonderful way to honor Carmelina’s memory.
