JBF Award winner Jose Garces's latest cookbook, The Latin Road Home, touches down in the numerous Spanish-speaking countries that have shaped his career. The menu at his upcoming Beard House event will reflect the book's theme, with each course rooted in the cuisine of a different nation. For dessert, Garces will serve these buttery, Cuban turnovers, or pasteles, made by enveloping guava paste and cream cheese in puff pastry. Using store-bought pastry, you can enjoy them at home, too.
