Floribbean flavors

From the book's back cover: The south Florida region is a hodgepodge of latino, caribbean, and anglo cultures. Chef Tony Merola of Brooks Tropicals takes the foods of these three cultures and fuses them into one new cuisine: Floribbean! The result is a combination of the familiar with the not so new and creating totally different flavors, textures, and aromas. Fresh tropical fruits and vegetables are the staple ingredients in Floribbean cuisine.
