New World cuisine, coming from South Florida, incorporates the surprise and excitement of tropical flavors and ingredients into the classic American and European traditions. The fruits and root vegetables of the Caribbean and Latin America are combined with fresh fish and seafood from Southern waters, grilled and barbecued meats, crisp greens, and traditional desserts to create a way of eating designed to please modern tastes. As chef and owner of Chef Afleia's in North Miami Beach, Florida, and winner of the 1994 James Beard Award as Best American Chef in the Southeast, Allen Susser is acknowledged as a principal inventor and quintessential proponent of the New World Cuisine.

All of the dishes are easily within the scope of home cooks everywhere.
