Abstract

Cookery has played a relevant function in the Cuban narrative from its origins, considering the intercultural
richness of its history. In this article I will analyse the function of translations at the moment to transfer this
theme to other languages, starting from the novels of José Lezama Lima, Senel Paz and Leonardo Padura
Fuentes.
