NEW WORLD CUISINE

LIGHT, HEALTHY, TROPICAL, AND FULL OF FLAVOR

 

 Norman Van Aken is given credit for coining the name NEW WORLD CUISINE back in 1986. Other names are Florida Fusion or Floribbean, and simply stated it is A CUISINE THAT MARRIES CLASSIC COOKING WITH "NEW WORLD" INGREDIENTS, referring to Christopher Columbus's NEW WORLD discovery in 1492. Some of these New World Ingredients are: BANANAS, PLANTAINS, VANILLA BEAN and TROPICAL FRUITS SUCH AS MANGO, CARAMBOLA, KIWI and PASSIONFRUIT. Additionally, the foods of the NEW WORLD included spices such as CINNAMON, CUMIN, CAYENNE, and CORIANDER.

 

Here at THE COBBLESTONE CAFÉ, we are committed to injecting some NEW WORLD CUISINE into our menu. We offer a VANILLA VINAIGRETTE as our house dressing, a MOROCCAN BARBECUE sauce that blends ASIAN AND ISLAND flavors, and SAUTEED BANANAS on FRESH YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER, with a BANANA BEURRE BLANC.

 

Some other Local Restaurants that feature NEW WORLD CUISINE are Captain Charlie's (Reef Grill), The Food Shack, Lazy Loggerheads, Grassy Flats, Tabica Grill, and of course Norman Van Akens namesake NORMAN'S in Coral Gables.

New World Thoughts

 

ˇ  A lot of great recipes are easily adapted by substituting New World Ingredients in the recipe.

 

ˇ   Fry thinly sliced Green Plantains in vegetable oil for a crisp chip perfect for a New World Dip.

 

ˇ   Substitute Boniatos for any Potato recipe for a sweeter almost chestnut flavor.

 

ˇ  Make a simple Mojo by combining equal parts lime juice, orange juice and olive oil flavored with cumin, garlic, salt and pepper. Put atop salad or vegetables or a pied of grilled pork, chicken or fish.

Chef Christopher has been operating the Cobblestone Café and A Culinary Celebration Catering for 10 years now, and he and his wife Elizabeth are excited about the restaurant's new location in the County Line Plaza in Tequesta.
