USINT Havana Recipe Book
Havana, Cuba 1994
In the early 1990s, Cubans suffered chronic shortages during what became known as the “Special Period” following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economic assistance upon which they depended. Created by employees of the U.S. Interests Section (USINT) Havana, this recipe book provided ideas using the scant ingredients available at market.
