Nitza Villapol Andiarena (1923-98), was a chef, teacher, cookbook writer and television host in Cuba. She has been called, by some the 'Cuban Julia Child' for her ability to communicate culinary arts to a popular audience. Born in New York to Cuban immigrants, Villapol lived there until the age of 11, after the collapse of the Machado regime. By the 1950s, Villapol was famous in Cuba for her standard cookbooks on Cuban cuisine. From 1948 to 1997 she had her own cooking show on Cuban television, one of the longest running shows in television Cuban history. After 1959, she sided with the revolution and remained a fixture in Cuban popular culture throughout her life. During the early 1990s, she managed to demonstrate on her show how to prepare traditional Cuban recipes under the difficult circumstances of rationing, poverty and shortages. This is her extremely scarce cookbook on Cuban Cuisine. I tried her Onion Soup and her Cornmeal and Crab (although I used ready prepared crab), both fairly simple and absolutely delicious.
