    The flavors of a Cuban pie

    For the past couple of years, we've had a special world category in KCRW's pie contest. Past entries have included a Japanese citrus yuzu pie and a pie with a Nazca art-inspired face baked into a lattice crust. This year, we dedicated a Cuban "La Cubana" pie category to Afro-Cuban printmaker Belkis Ayon.

    For the past couple of years, we've had a special world category in KCRW's pie contest. Past entries have included a Japanese citrus yuzu pie and a pie with a Nazca art-inspired face baked into a lattice crust. This year, we dedicated a Cuban "La Cubana" pie category to Afro-Cuban printmaker Belkis Ayon. Her work is featured at UCLA's Fowler Museum near Royce Quad where our pie contest will be held. If you're new to Cuban flavors, we have just the guest to inspire you in the kitchen: Marta Darby. Her blog is My Big Fat Cuban Family.
