Book excerpt: Miami's Culinary History is one of much diversity, going from Native Americans only relying on what the land gave them, to non-Hispanic whites establishing their culture, to Jews migrating to avoid persecution, to the eventual influx of Cuban and Haitian peoples into the city. Because there has always been a fairly active form of immigration due to the subtropical climate and eventual widespread adoption of the Spanish language, Miami has become a large fusion of cultures and cuisines that allow us to find anything we want today. The culinary history of Miami is a reflection of its culture--spicy, vibrant, and diverse. And though delectable seafood has always been a staple in South Florida, influences from Latin and Caribbean nations brought zest to the city's world-renowned cuisine. Even the orange, the state's most popular fruit, migrated from another country. Join local food author Mandy Baca as she recounts the delicious history of Miami's delicacies from the Tequesta Indians to the present-day local food revolution.
