I grew up in Miami eating juicy mangoes naked in the
bathtub. But I never thought I could cook with them until the 1960's when
Florida's doors were opened to a flood of immigrants from South America, Latin
America and the Caribbean who brought with them their treasured recipes......now
we have mango tarts, fish served with mango sauce, cold milk shakes made with
mangoes, mango chutney......the list goes on.
