How can you help support our local restaurants? The Taste of Miami, the much-anticipated COVID-relief cookbook, was just released featuring 50 recipes provided by some of Miami’s favorite restaurants. neuelane, the creative agency behind the book, has promised to give 100% of the profits back to those eateries that have been struggling through this pandemic by way of the non-profit, The Great Miami Cookbook. BUY HERE! For Pre-Order.

Co-founders at neuelane, Brandon Rodriguez and Michael Campos, enlisted the help of Celebrity Chef Yisus from Univision Network, who donated his time to prepare each dish on camera and assist in organizing the recipes.

The hip and colorful book offers a nice array of “The Best Of Miami” that people have come to know and love. The recipes in the book are the very same foods that people order the most, such as the Cap'n Crunch Pancakes from Eating House, the Green Curried Mussels by Phuc Yea, the Lomo Saltado from 33 Kitchen, the Rabo Encendido from Finka Table & Tap, the Jupiña Express, a burger from PINCHO, and Abuela's Ham & Chorizo Cuban Macaroni by Sergio's Restaurant. “Miami and beyond can now make the same recipe used by the chefs at these restaurants at home, yet support the restaurants with charitable dollars,” says Brandon Rodriguez, President at neuelane.

It wouldn’t be a Miami cookbook if it didn’t have Croquetas, and neuelane did not disappoint. Foodies from all over will now be able to make the famous Reuben Croqueta that can only be found at Kush by Stephen's. They can also tackle the award-winning Chorizo Croqueta recipe from Doce Provision, or the decadent Sunday Brunch Croqueta, which Dos Croquetas used in their Masterclass in the 2020 SOBEWFF.

Ceviche lovers will be pleased to know that YOLO, SuViche and even Chef Jose Mendin all provided their most popular recipes. Celebrity Chef Ralph Pagano, from Naked Taco, hopes people will #GetNaked with his Blackened Fish Tacos, while Taquiza went bold with their Tacos de Lengua recipe. Chef George Patti provided the Guava BBQ Ribs recipe, a favorite at MEAT Eatery.

Meat lovers will also be happy to see that Smokey Bones gave up their Big Beef Ribs recipe, El Rey de Las Fritas provided their Homemade Cuban Frita Burger, and Latin House Grill offered their famous Madlove Ribeye Steak. Meanwhile, getReal has offered food-lovers a healthier meat option with their Reverse-seared Rack of Lamb, and Burger Beast provided the book’s Foreword along with his recipe for the BEAST-loaf.
